[QUOTE="25WSM, post: 1914937, member: 38048"] A small chamber would not cause accuracy issues unless it's so small that you have to force the bolt to close on factory ammo. Small can be 2 different things. Length and diameter. Diameter is controlled by the reamer dimensions but length is a tollerence. So did they not check the chamber with go and no-go guages when the barrel was installed? If the chamber was too short neither guage would have allowed the bolt to close. That's poor gunsmithing. A reamer that has worn down enough to measure a difference would not have even cut the chamber. I'm not sold on them having done anything to your chamber. The only cost difference between pulling a barrel and putting on a new one is the cost of the barrel and finishing. Working on a barrel that is already chambered is much more time consuming to get dialed into the lathe unless your just going to polish it. But most oem barrels are put into a collet and run. So not very much work in that. To me it really wouldn't matter what they did to it as long as it shoots good. You will know soon enough. I really hope it shoots great and your issues are over.
