[QUOTE="WahooYahoo, post: 2191630, member: 94632"] Nope. I tried that when I had the chamber cut. Straightjacket armory said "we aren't set up for that"; although, by every measure they are set up for that. I argue that it is what they already do. they cut chambers... Instructions read: Clean Die with Solvent Determine Die Body Finish Length Mark Length with Sharpie on Die Body Cut Material off Bottom of Die Chuck Die Concentric in Lathe Drill Body Out Send in Neck Drill Use Reamer to Chamber Die Add Counter Bore I have spoken to 4 gunsmiths. 1 wasn't "set up for that", 2 said they were too busy to fool with it and one said he didn't want to wreck his reamer, "dies are hardened"... LE Wilson sells a pot load of these die blanks. Lot's of folks cut these dies, I just need to find one who [B]will[/B] and I'll get them the reamer. [/QUOTE]
