Countersinking my Rem 58 cylinder center hole

[Melnic]

OK,
Sometimes the cylinder is hard to re-insert.
Here is a pick of my conversion cylinder.
I'm thinking of taking a countersink bit or a reamer and reaming/countersinking the center hole so that when I insert the cylinder, the pin self aligns a bit better when its off a tad.
I can't think of any reason NOT to do this other than the work to ream and blue the cut portions.

Won't hurt a thing.

You could taper the end of the cylinder pin too.

A long 30 degree taper would be better than 45 degrees.

Or a combination of the two on the cylinder hole.


PS: Are all of those holes the same size.

Yes, I see it does look like the far hole is smaller, just an optical delusion of the camera

Ha,
The Pietta cylinder is already beveled.
Its this Howell conversion cylinder that was not.
I beveled it last night and easier to insert now.
The Pin is rounded at the tip, but comes pretty sharp at the edges.
