Single-Six, Forcing Cone

[Hylander]

Decided to do an 11 degree forcing cone. Main reason was leading at the forcing cone. Also did my Uberti 1873 45 Colt. Both had rough cones.
Hopefully I can do a range report soon.

They look good. I’ll be watching for the report

About 15 years ago I bought a Rossi model 518 double action stainless steel 22 revolver. I went to the local shooting range and was getting lots of lead spitting out between the rear of the barrel and cylinder and it got so bad it locked up the cylinder. After a good cleaning I found out there was no forcing cone, just grooves from one end of the barrel to the other end. I got a tool from Brownells for reaming a 22 RF forcing cone. I checked some other 22 revolvers forcing cones depth and copied that depth on the Rossi. It's a good shooter now. I left out the worst part of this story about trying to get Interarms the importer to fix it.

Went to the range this morning.
Definitely worth doing to the Single-Six. Cut group size considerably and no leading.

Did you use the Brownells tool?

Had no idea anyone other than a custom shop would ever consider a ream on a rimfire single action cone. I ain't doing it for sure.

Yes,
Pretty easy job.
Cutter cut the cone like butter.

What’s the part number for this tool? I was searching on Brownell’s site and only found forcing cone reamers for shotguns.

I just went and checked mine and there was no part number on the kit.

Glad that I bought mine back around 30 years ago...It's been money well spent.

I just found that in a old Brownells catalog. I only paid $104.00 for mine.

They didn't have the complete kit when I ordered.
Bought all the pieces separately.
About $100
