[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 3053414, member: 101791"] Buy your own reamers and have the barrels re-chamber or chambe a new barrel. years have gone by and I had other smiths turnout rifles for me. A couple a years ago i changed and have a reamer built of me. $250 or so isn't out of line to one and you have the reamer for a very long time.. It's my understand the reamer needs to be reworked after 5 or 6 chamber jobs with. I wish I had done this a long time ago. That way it's set as you want it. Which I reduce the I.D. in the neck area, because I cut my necks on the brass to a thinner thickness. Don't get me wrong I am no gunsmith. Been a carpenter by trade, and dealing with 1/16" or a little less, is as close as I get. At the same time being accurate is still required. Dealing with .001-4" or less is the firearms game. I have a friend that deals in .0001" and less. There isn't a free country jet built that he doesn't have a part in. [/QUOTE]
