[QUOTE="neilbfree, post: 2572121, member: 88593"] If you do choose to get the JGS reamer, either have a gunsmith do the work or be very deliberate and slow doing it yourself. I bricked a barrel by being all excited about being able to fix the problem myself. Got the reamer and some cutting oil and went to town with it. About 2 minutes into the job, I noticed the metal shavings were starting to build up on the reamer and I needed to add more cutting oil to clear them out. There is a moment of pause before that feeling of regret when you realize you just made a major mistake, and the brilliance of a simple solution comes back to slap you in the face. I realized that I should be taking a measurement after each twist or half twist of the reamer because it should only remove a tiny little bit of metal. Too late, the no-go gauge now fits like a glove. I am now contemplating the cost difference between just getting a new barrel reamed with my AW2 reamer or having a Smith repair my stupidity. Fortunately, the barrel was not a CF or otherwise super expensive one. [/QUOTE]
