I have Pietta that I got on gunbroker at a real good price. It's just a shootin iron to me and I thought maybe I'd learn a little C&B revolver gunsmithing on it. So far, all I've done is tear it down and I draw filed the barrel and frame to get rid of the factory markings. I plan on cutting a dovetail for a new front sight as the original sight system shoots too far left, at least for me. Some other things too, but here's what I want to know - has anybody ever cut the forcing cone on one of these barrels to an 11 degree angle? I hear & read stuff about that improving accuracy significantly and wondering if it's worth my while to do it(?)
I know the answer is: "well, it depends..." but what I'm looking for is what's the tool cost that you do this with? And where do you get such a thing? Anybody know or heard of this? Thanks in advance.
