Machining for Moon Clips
Machining for Moon Clips
Add cylinder machining to your custom build so the revolver ships ready to run moon clips out of the box. We machine the rear of each chamber so a loaded moon clip drops flush against the cylinder face, letting the cartridge rims sit below the breech and the extractor sweep every case out in one motion. You still shoot the original rimmed cartridge without clips whenever you want. Nothing about the caliber or the way the gun functions is compromised. Clips are an option, not a requirement.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
Federal or Remington & others makes works the best with the .025 thick Full Moonclips, which fit all the .38/357 standard moonclip. They allow the cartridges to have some movement or wiggle so that they will fall right into the chambers once properly aligned. Winchester brass does not work at all as the groove width is too tight/small.

-
There is no SAAMI specifications for the extractor groove and each manufacturer makes them as they want. The following list gives you a great example. This is why the diameter size of the brass is critical to proper loading, unloading and fitment. Cartridge diameter too big and moonclip too small causes the moonclip to bend. The cartridge should rotate within their respective place and wobble slightly when all cartridges are loaded.
