[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1290488, member: 4191"] The barrel could be a lost cause. Even if you break thru the surface hardening, the chamber reamer will still be cutting melonited material in the neck/throat/lead area, no? Your reamer may already be thrashed. Pretty sure you'd need a carbide reamer to have any chance at all. Is it gonna be worth it? I'm tagging in to follow what advice the gunsmiths and/or machinists might be able to offer ... I'm pessimistic about what you're trying to do, based on what I know it... [/QUOTE]
