It’ll be interesting to see if they still stick, but I think you solved the problem. I have an old lead out kit to remove lead and polish cylinders and barrels on firearms. I don’t know if they still make them, but I know they work well for polishing a cylinder up. I’m 58; I use to like doing minor gunsmithing, but not anymore. Lol
Yeah, the reason this case sticking problem doesn't affect all revolvers, is because when new reamers are used, the first run of cylinders have very smooth chambers. But as the reamers wear and become dull, the chambers become more rough until it's time to replace the reamers. So it's just the luck of the draw as to how smooth the chambers are in your revolver. Gun makers get as much use out of their tooling as possible, so tooling that has just about worn out will produce compromised firearms. That's why I place such a high value on customer service, because there is a chance of having to send a firearm back to fix a problem. Ruger, and Hi Point are two outstanding companies that really take care of their customers. There are probably more, but these are the only two that I can personally vouch for.
@@bayouknivesandoutdoors501 👍🏻. For new additions, this gets them both at the same time. 😉 Now I just need to figure out how to polish up my barrel forcing cone without removing it! 😉😂
I didn't see Flex-Hone on your web page. So, when I purchased The .357 and .44 hone with some oil, I put in the comment section of the purchase order that I saw the demo on your show.
@@doylethorn9251 Thanks! There are several places I still shop frequently that I don’t have as affiliates. Mostly because they use a different 3rd party affiliate manager. Once I get more time, I plan on reaching out and establishing connections with more companies.
I'm going to pick my Tracker 44 up tomorrow; I ordered it a couple weeks ago. Looks looks like i should pick up a polisher/honer like you did lol. I don't want to spend much money though, so i might just get some 400 grit and 800 grit paste and some kind of pipe cleaner. Chuck it in a drill and maybe that will do the trick. I'm glad I managed to find this channel, and what are the odds you saved me from damaging my cylinder literally the day before i'm going to pick up and shoot my own Tracker 44. Anyways what do you think about my idea? Same concept. Just ad-hoc and cheaper. Could even get some 1000 & 2000 grit for the final polish.
This was a really good and informative video 👍 my taurus m44 tracker was the same with cases being really hard to get out. It's gotten better with steady cleaning and oiling but I might get some those honing bits. Did you just use oil with honing or was that a polishing compound? I've seen vids with guys using mag wheel polish and cloth rapped around a cleaning brush and drill to polish the chambers.
@@T-riumph955i just honing oil with the brushes. I had a swab with some leftover Mothers Mag Polish dried onto it that I did a quick polishing pass with after I washed and dried it.
Wow wouldn't have thought there would be that many machining marks in that cylinder! I think the 800 grit did just fine, I would be a bit nervous to use the 400 grit on a revolver that didn't have issues with stuck casings. No need to be removing excess material just to have a mirror polished cylinder to show off to your buddies.
@@lens7859 It is their brand, but it’s just honing oil. Pretty thin stuff actually. They had it where I got the hones so picked it up too. Comes in a couple of sizes.
@@nickwaggoner249 😂 just not as much as I’d like!! I’ve had more days off in the last 4 weeks and only 1 range trip…😢. Might have to squeeze a quick one in this afternoon.
@ I’ve got a new .45-70 I need to try out and want to run a couple of cylinders in this Taurus to see if it helped the cases sticking. I’ll let you know. Andrea may have other plans. 😉

@@e.l.robbins5614 it worked fine. I’ll have a “short” from yesterdays range trip to post up later tonight😉
That’s amazing, May give it a try, thanks Matt !

@@Mbartel500 Good points 👍🏻
Thank you exactly what I needed for one of my revolvers.
High speed footage reminded me of Senior Prom ‘86 😉
@@tombraley3212 😂😂👍🏻👊🏻
Excellent. I have the same model and already hone the chamber mouths but need todo this

I have been looking forward to this one. Awesome stuff I got several revolvers that could use this thank you.
@@corybrown8422 the Flex Hone worked really well. I’ll probably pick up a 400grit in .357 and 44mag too, just to have them for “rougher” starts. Lol.
@@kentuckyrangetime Yes, seem like it really would be worth doing.
@ I’m going to hit all mine, even if just lightly to polish. A nice finish also makes them clean up easier.
Great video! Keep it up ur going to be TH-cam famous

@@rileyneufeld7001 👍🏻exactly. I’ll run this one as is. If no more issues then it’s finished.
Looks like their own oil, but what type do you think it is?

@ thanks, thought so
Chambers or charge holes. Only 1 cylinder in a revolver. Did you need to hone the chamber mouths?
@@gunsnwater2668 1 cylinder, 5 chambers.
Did I need to? It would be hard to one correctly without doing the other.
AKA. . .dingle-berry hone.
@@ctapmgriley 👍🏻😂
Well, no one can accuse you of not shooting your guns.

Good info and good to know about the product. Thanks for the video. 👍💪 Remember everyone Jesus Christ in your life and heart is the answer ✝️🙏
