[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 802224, member: 2736"] In your case, I would make a chamber cast of your chamber using Cerrosafe because it will show everything even the condition of the lead. Cost about $20.00 bucks. Once you make a casting of your chamber it is easy to measure any part of the casting. Just be sure to follow the instructions TO THE LETTER. It is very hard to measure a reamer and you must be careful what you measure it with because most Micrometers anvils are very hard and can damage a fine reamer. Have you have tried the maker to see is he has the reamer print for it ? PS: If the barrel and chamber are good you can buy a throating reamer and do what ever to the free bore you want. In fact this is a good way to experiment with throat/free bore length using the old barrel before you re_barrel with a new barrel I hope this helps J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
