Larry Crow called me and we talked for some time. I had lost track of him from the old Sixgunner.Com days. But he is still doing the throating. For those interested, here is his article on it --- https://competitiveedgegunworks.net/articles

There's no doubt that a top 'smith with good equipment can out do a shade tree Bubba. But there's a place for "quick and dirty" Taylor throating. If I recall correctly, wasn't the first one done by your dad by swaging the throat in? At least that's what my memory box seems to yield. I know that almost 20 years ago I did my first one with a Brownell's sourced reamer. And I've done two more since then. Every Colombian Llama I've handled has had a misalignment between cylinder throat and barrel. There's probably better ways of improving these revolvers, but I've found that using that Brownell's sourced reamer I could get rid of the step between the chamber and barrel, allowing the RNL ammo we're forced to use here to slide into the throat with no gouging and leading. Accuracy also improves as the bullet is no longer scraping one side off as it enters the barrel. BUT, Larry's right - the best way is to remove the barrel and do it in a lathe. If you've got the means of doing so.

The first one on my Linebaugh .45 Dad made a reamer.

His .22 Single Six that he rebarreled, he swaged that one.

Dad was good at making reamers. He made one for me to ream .45 Colt primer pockets for Large Rifle primers. It was a fun experiment but really did not gain anything ballistically.

The 22 is the one I was thinking about.

Was it the first one he did, or was it the 45 Colt?

He did the .22 about 1963

30 years before we did my .45. I never even thought about the timeline until you brought it up! I wonder why I missed that?
