I received my 11 degree forcing cone reamer and gauge from Brownells today. I sat and read the directions for a while. I am still undecided on this project. I will probably have a lot of questions before this is over. One thing the directions stress and that I have seen from other reading is not to do the re ream if you do not have enough room to completely remove the original cone. Do not end up with a 2 angle cone. I cannot see why this would be bad or a problem? Could someone explain a slight decrease in the angle near the end of the cone would be a problem? You would have a little more room near the cylinder for mis alignment. You would not have any more constriction in the cone than you do with the shallower angle one. What is the downside that I am missing?
Update: I slipped the gauge into the forcing cone and it goes in all the way and is a perfect seeming fit. Looks like some one already did the rework on this gun. It is a OM that I got in a very used, somewhat abused, condition.
