[QUOTE="biednick, post: 3058628, member: 123604"] Cutting rimless AI chambers isn't as easy as running a reamer until it cleans up. If that's what your smith wants to do take it somewhere else. The barrel needs to be set back at least a few thou before the chamber is cut, then the new chamber is cut using an Ackley go gauge and the parent cartridge's go gauge as a no go gauge. Ideally it's set back by exactly 1 thread so the markings stay in the same place after the chamber is cut. Personally I'd just have it rebarreled if you want an AI chamber. [/QUOTE]
