What Tom used was a tapered pipe cutter. I am not sure where Tom got them. But Travis Tool Company use to sell them. I don't know if they are still in business or not.
I have not seen one of their catalogs for a long time.
Correction: When Tom Built a revolver he used a Tapered pipe reamer or cutter with the barrel in a lathe. He also had a little hand reamer that he used in his stand at the fort.
Where he could cut the forcing cone with the barrel on the frame.
I don't know where he got that at, my bet would be Brownells.
