[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 2305586, member: 24284"] Last I heard, HH was more than a year behind and on the verge of retirement. Dave Manson should be your "go to" guy. Easy to work with and makes quality tools. Most of my chambering reamers were made in Mansons' shop. I have a few JGS and at least 2 recently made Clymer reamers that I have absolutely no complaints about. There's another popular maker on the "left coast". I have a few made by them, and I have had to have every one re-worked so the cut properly. I have turned down work where the client wanted to supply the reamer not made by Manson, JGS or Clymer because of issues I have had with another, popular brand. Manson, JGS would be my first choice followed by Clymer. With the current, "It's so easy a caveman can do it" aptitude toward chambering and gunsmithing in general, I won't rent as I don't know how the reamer has been used and treated before it was shipped to me. My only experience with a rented reamer 'soured' me. It came with a pilot that was egg shaped and wouldn't turn feely and it didn't cut like a sharp tool should. [/QUOTE]
