Anyone know were to get a cylinder or ejector for a redhawk in 45 Colt ? I milled a little to deep for the moon clip and getting unreliable ignition with 45 acp.
Thanks

You'd have to rechamber it from .44 Mag, but there are usually 1-2 on GunBroker in .44 Mag for about $35.

Are you using standard thickness steel moon clips, the new poly clips or custom thickness clips?

 

[TGN74]

I'm using standard steel clips from Revolver Supply Co. They Are .040" thick

Just a thought, but here goes nothing. The rimz poly moon clips are made with a flat side and a side with a countersinc for the case head to sit in. Maybe try the rimz but load them the opposite way, with the case head sitting on the flat side and not countersunk. That may be high enough (without being too high?) to get your reliable ignition back. If it blows up, I'll never own up to having said any of this :twisted:

were you at the Maumee Valley gun show? someone asked us as to a 45 cal redhawk cylinder, and the guy behind me, makes moon clips for many of the gun companies, and possibly can come up with a thicker version?? he is from the Detroit,MI area if I recall .................

Could it be plated to put a little metal back?

My gunsmith is going to try using some shim stock. I'll let you no how it turns out.
