Brownells Rifle/Handgun Master Facing/Chamfering Set W/Brass Pilots
The Brownells Rifle/Handgun Master Facing/Chamfering Set with Brass Pilots is a comprehensive gunsmithing toolkit built for shooters and gunsmiths who want to perform professional-grade barrel work at the bench. Whether you're fitting a new muzzle brake, crowning a barrel, or facing a revolver cylinder, this master set gives you the pilots and cutters needed to achieve clean, square results across rifles and handguns in dozens of calibers.
What makes this set stand out is the breadth of brass pilots included—covering everything from .22 RF and .22 CF to magnum rifle rounds like .338, .375, and .458/45-70, plus a full suite of revolver cylinder and barrel pilots ranging from .32 through .50 S&W. The 45/90 degree rifle muzzle tool and chamfer cutters handle the actual shaping work, while the included replacement handle, storage box with foam insert, and rust prevention tabs (vapor tabs and Rust Blox) keep your investment organized and protected between jobs.
This is the kind of tool set that pays for itself if you're a serious handloader, precision rifle enthusiast, or working gunsmith—no need to improvise pilots or send barrels out for basic facing and chamfering work. The brass construction of the pilots protects your barrel steel and ensures consistent, repeatable pilot fit across multiple uses.
