[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 701409, member: 39764"] I have a couple 223's as well and the bore/chamber is a bit tight, in fact, thats the smallest diameter most bore scopes will fit....223/22caliber. If you are adventuresome, you can 'do it yourself'. Brownell's offers chamber reamers in .223 and you can 'rent' reamers by the day or week online as well. Of course an engine lathe will a large enough through bore to accept the barrel plus the tooling to run the reamer (on center) is required. You aren't actually reaming a chamber, just cleaning up a defect so the headspace gages aren't needed, what is needed is a good 'feel' for when the reamer bottoms out against the existing angle. If you lived close, I'd let you use my borescope to look inside. Great tool. [/QUOTE]
