How would the cartridge headspace with no rim on it? moon clips? It does not seem as if it would headspace properly with diffent types of crimps being employed were the cylinder be reamed to leave a rim inside . I am certain the .30 carbine would be similar but I do not know what method is applied there either.

wildcatter]Heck, the 45 win-mag in a AMT or LAR GRIZZLE fizzled for this problem (and I wish I owned both right now) and both were as good as it gets, for quality & reliability.[/quote]
My buddy is on his second LAR Grizzly. Both are/were .45 Win Mag. The increased grip length to accomodate the .45WinMag makes the gun unweildy and he rarely shoots it... he might be willing to trade it. hint hint
The LAR is a monster... a super sized 1911. If you run out of ammo, you can attach it to a stick and it'd make a great sledge hammer. The problem I have with it is parts... which luckily, LAR still has. I recently changed the extractor for my friend... it was $60!!!! (not including shipping).

Keep the original cylinder to fire cheap .45LC and the .450B cylinder when we need real firepower. I would be first in line to buy a replacement cylinder if one could/would be made. What do you guys think?
