Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - .38 Special cutter pilot size
Posted: 5/4/2020 7:58:07 PM EDT
I am looking to use a facing cutter after lopping down my Smith model 10 barrel to make a 3" carry piece.   What diameter pilot should I use fire this?

Thanks in advance!

I'd go .347"
Most rental places let you choose under and oversized pilots, to be included in the rental.

Cutting a dovetail, Novak style front sight,  then pin once zeroed.
