[QUOTE="dsculley, post: 1245435, member: 77514"] Thanks for the reply. I will check into the reamer. I have seen that some say you can chamber at .22 with a drill bit, but I would prefer a piloted reamer if I am going to attempt it. Not really trying to save any money, just that I like projects like this and am not mechanically inept. I have a local smith that I have used in the past, but have not used him in a long time. I referred my boss to him to have a new AR barrel threaded for a suppressor. This smith totally screwed it up. The suppressor sat at an angle to the bore and he thought it was ok. This was a special order barrel and was tuned for the suppressor, cutting the crown back and re-threading would mess up the tuning. He was supposed to replace the barrel but never did. I found a smith in a nearby town that I may let do this. I called him yesterday but he is out of town for the rest of the week. Will pursue this with him next week. By the way, which .22 liner do you think will give the best results? Again, thank you. [/QUOTE]
