Go over to Greybeard Outdoors. In one of the forums, I think Handirifles? they have some reamers that they share. I borrowed a 45-70 throating reamer, free of charge a while back.

Borregos: have you determined if a reamer from the US can be sent into Canada?

I would check into that. I have been told that and notice posted on some shooting and gunsmithing supply sites that as a result of the 911 attack and the resulting war on terror the buying, selling, shipping, renting, etc., of some firearms parts and supplies was prohibited/curtailed.

It depends how it is described on the customs form really. A lot of the sites err on the cautious side of things and won't send stuff that in reality they can.

I've sent a few things to Canada, you just have to list them as "machine tools" which they are. I'd send you one but I don't have that reamer.

Out of curiosity, are you chambering a new barrel?

Isnt it amazing how many people post without reading the thread?

No, repairing/modifying a Contender barrel.

So by modifying an existing barrel are you needing a roughing AND finish reamer or do you think just a finish will do what you need?
What about head space gauges?
