Please Note: As some buyers are having difficulties seeing the times required to obtain the item, I have decided to post this up top and up front. Due to an increasing amount of cancellations related to "not arriving on time" I have decided to be upfront on the policy change. I no longer will cancel your order due to the inability to read the handling times and item location! Once the order is placed it is a binding agreement that you have committed to the product and understand you have 24 hrs to cancel your order for refund! After that point the order typically has already been transmitted and began production or fulfillment.
I am a USA seller, However the item is in Ukraine. The handling time allows for the manufacturer to process and produce the item to specification. We are not a multi billion dollar operation here. I receive your orders and transmit them to the manufacturer based on your given specs and he makes and ships from his shop. Power is an issue in the area he is located in, so please be patient as this is why we have the handling time assigned we have. I am not just an ebay seller full time. I am a gunsmith, a father, a husband, and a totally disabled veteran with health issues so I do not instantly answer, but rest assured I will. If you need to message me again, do it, i will not take it wrongly. Im human and not a tech guru yet. We are trying to bring you amazing gunsmithing tools at reasonable prices with quality above Chinese made mass produced, mass exported waste. Please give me the time, ask questions, ask techniques and tips, and etc. I'm a down to Earth guy just helping bring these awesome products to the forefront.
***-Upgraded version! Taking into account many years of experience in many workshops. what changes have occurred; A distance has been added between the two working surfaces for abundant lubrication and to prevent chips from getting onto the second surface. The shape of the grooves has been changed to diamond grooves, which also eliminates the formation of chips. The length of the main working surface has been changed, which has a very good effect on the quality of cutting and rotation. The guide has been extended, which also has a good effect on the stability of the cutting. The end of the button that comes into contact with the pusher is made in the shape of a cone, which reduces friction between the pusher and the button and also eliminates the displacement of the pusher inside the barrel during operation, and provides a high-quality twist when cutting. also, each button comes with one pusher 50 mm long of the correct shape for a cone. a completely updated version of the button, taking into account the wishes and experience of all workshops We present to your attention the Brand tool "Hamerton" This tool was tested by the famous weapons engineer Mark Serbu!***
*Please note* - I am located in the USA but the items ship from UKRAINE. We apply a 10 day handling period to allow time to make the item if needed and get it to post, plus help remind buyers it may take extra time occasionally due to customs, overseas transport, and such.
Please note- There is another seller in Ukraine of the same type of tools. They are not affiliated with Hamerton and DO NOT sell the same tools. Their tools reportedly cost more and the shipping is questionable at best, sometimes taking over 30 days. When I transmit your order to Hamerton, it is usually shipped within 10 days unless its customized.
Please note: NO SALES TO CHINA, RUSSIA, MEXICO, or BELARUS.
This is the Hamerton Listing!
Material: High Carbon steel Excellent Hardness: 84~90 HRA which equal to 65~75HRC
The button has two heads. The first rifles, the second calibrates, so you do not need additional calibration buttons, this button has 6 flutes.
Twist rate of this button is 250mm (1:9.84 twist)
We can also make your measurements under the order.
In the photo there is an example of work by our tool.
Do not overpay, buy a good and working tool. Now a few facts why a real button cannot cost less than $ 45-50
1). A good alloy for the production of one button costs from $10 to $15
2). Each button is made individually with an accuracy of 0.01mm
3) Our tools are one of the only ones that are not manufactured in China and have been certified, and complies with all international standards. One and the same button does not apply to all calibers of the same size as China sells, for example, there can not be one 9mm button, since 9mm calibers are many 9×19, 9×18, 9×17 and all buttons have different tolerances and different angles.
4) Yes you can pay $20 less but you will lose your time, up to and over a month for delivery and the result of the work will be incorrect and inconsistent.
5) Our buttons can withstand any shock loads, so you do not need an expensive press ($ 300). You can use any hammer and any direction to push the button (we also have buttons with guides), we respect our customers, appreciate their time, so only the best quality. Good shopping friends!
Recommended steel grades for working with a button:
MyGermany- (DIN,WNr)1.7223,41CrMo4 France- (AFNOR)42CD4TS
Spain- (UNE)42CrMo4
England- (BS)708M40
USA- 4140, 4142
Also very important is the thickness of the workpiece! Each wall of the workpiece before using the button should be 1.5-2.0mm beyond the diameter of the bullet. An example of calculating the diameter of the workpiece for 9mm Luger 9.02mm (bullet diameter) * 1.5mm = 13.53mm minimum thickness of one wall 13.53mm + 13.53mm + 9.02mm = 36.08mm -The minimum rod diameter for this caliber based on the United States with a gunsmithing business. I took up learning the art of barrel making....well I learned and also ended up here! I use Hamerton tools as my rifling buttons and quite a few of their reamers.
These are not made in China. Proudly made in Ukraine!
