Months ago I bought a Thunder Ranch revolver in 45 ACP. I really liked the revolver, but at least 2 of the charging holes were too tight to accept reloads.
So I took it to a gunsmith, GK Customs in Colorado Springs. He did an action job, which has to be experienced to be believed. He reamed all of the charging holes, and chamfered them so that they would readily accept moon clips and my reloads. He recut the forcing cone. Lastly, he properly regulated the sights so that it shoots to the point of aim.
Gary is an old school revolver guy, and his efforts on this revolver are so precise and exact. Good job Gary.
In all it was expensive, but the revolver is very sweet now.
I had thought to return it to S&W to have the cylinder remedied, but felt this was a better choice.
