In FS#246, Ed states that “a cottage industry has developed reaming Ruger cylinders".  I have a 36 cal black powder revolver that has 0.374 cylinders that I want to ream out to around 0.380.  I imagine the services provided only ream to standard sizes - .357, .44,.45- but thought maybe somebody might do custom sizes. Would like to talk to any gunsmith who reams cylinders.  Any suggestions?  Cove

Sounds like Doug is the guy (no pun intended) I need to talk to. Thanks for the information. Bill Duncan (Cove)
