Cylinder Reaming

[AJ]

Your chambers will stick again. You’ve polished them you’ve stated. It’s just like cleaning your barrel with a brush. Smith can’t remove build up that comes through use . Do you think smith and Wesson has any experience in reaming and polishing chambers in revolvers ?

I clean every gun when I buy it, before going to the range. This revolver was sticking from the beginning. After the first range session, I came to this forum to see if others were having this problem. Do a search on the subject, I think you will see what I mean. Many folks reaming chambers. I elected to go the polishing route.

Which happens if this condition gets worse with use ? The charge hole diameter in the cylinder shrinks ? Or the loaded ammunition grows ? Or crud buildup in the cylinder charge hole gets worse as you fire it until a cleaning ?

Well Sir, I guess we are all wrong and you are right............

Just wait till your properly finished chambers stick again . Then you can blame yourself for not doing it right the first time .

Thank you for your input.

Just buy the reamer, ream your chambers, list it for sale and pack it for shipment. Simple.

I used a Clymer Chamber Reamer that I got from Brownell's to fix my sticky case situation. It works great. After using the reamer I polished the chamber with Flitz.

I can now shoot an entire Steel Challenge Match without cleaning the cylinder once for all 39 runs. I also found that using plated or jacketed .22 ammo is a big improvement. Blazers still stick after about 150 rounds but they group the best in all of my .22s.

Check out the link in post 10 at the end. I bought a reamer from someone on the forum and he told me not to send the money just pass it on, so I did. Try to locate it and he will send it to you. It was passed to people on that thread to use then send it to someone else in need. Larry

Larry,

Saw your post. How is the Mid Range doing?
