[QUOTE="Rustystud, post: 389929, member: 9964"] It depends on your skill level and access to the necessary tooling. Have a local machine shop make you a bushing .701 OD with a .4375 ID appoximately 2.5" long. The back side needs to be turned 90 degrees to the bore. You will need a PT&G piloted throating reamer with the correct bushing. You will need a PT&G Uni Throater. I recomend a Lambeth/Kiff Micrometer Adjustable Reamer Stop. It can be done with a with a .4375 ID Bushing with a locking set screw. Absent the Lambeth/Kiff Micrometer Adjustable Reamer Stop you will need some form of measuring devices IE: feeler gauges and micrometers. Remove the throat in incremental steps as you cann't put metal back. Measure throat and cut a little, then measure again. If you cut to much you will have to set the barrel back. Good Luck Nat Lambeth ps. the tooling for doing this job will cost approximately: Piloted Throating Reamer $698.00 Additional bushings $11.00 each PT&G Uni Throater $69.00 Lambeth/Kiff Micrometer Adjustable Reamer Stop $189.00 PT&G Reamer bushing $30.00 Bolt Race Bushing .701 OD .4375 ID by 2.5" approximately $35.00 Barrel Set back $225.00 [/QUOTE]
