I no longer rent to newbies, handling the deposit is a PITA, sorry.

9mm Luger

22 K Hornet

357 Remington Maximum Rifle

454 Casull

45 ACP

.458" Throater (.449" pilot)

444 Marlin

30-30AI

Crown cutter (22, 30 375 cal)

90º Facer with (30 cal)

PM me your name and mailing address to get on a waiting list, when I get to you, I'll mail the reamer.

There are good instructions in the FAQs, just never turn the reamer backwards, always turn it clockwise in the cutting direction and use lots of cutting oil, it doesn't hurt to remove the reamer every few turns to clean the cuttings off with a soft brush, and go slow keeping the reamer inline with the bore, mounted vertical in a bench vice is the easiest way to do that, don't use the ends of the reamer handle for torque, try to turn it from as near the center as possible, the last two I did I used a nut driver and a 3/8" square drive socket so I'm just twisting the reamer and I'm less likely to end up cutting an egg shaped chamber by too much side force. I have included a Max case so you can cut the chamber to the right depth, which is until the rim cutter just touches the existing rim cut of the chamber, you can coat the rim cut with a lipstick or whiteout typing correction fluid to show when the rim cutter touches, don’t ream any deeper or you’ll create excess headspace, please return the Max brass with the reamer for the next guy to use,

Please ship it and the included instruction sheet as well as test round back to me in a small flat rate priority box, cost will be ~$11, be sure to use lots of tape to seal it up and include the original packing, some folks reuse the box, some use a new box, just depends on how it gets handled by the PO before they receive it. Include $10 cash or check.

How is the reamer rental going ?

quickdtoo · « **Reply #4 on:** May 15, 2011, 06:05:29 AM »

Just fine, I haven't shipped the wrong reamer......yet, but I did ship one to someone who cancelled, I forgot to remove Bagdadjoe from the K-hornet list after he said he had a stainless barrel!!

But with three reamers soon to be five, I hope CRS doesn't strike again!!

Thanks George,

Tim

Any 460 S&W reamers?

quickdtoo · « **Reply #9 on:** June 05, 2011, 02:52:58 PM »

Nope, but site sponsor 4D has one.

How is the reamer rental going? Is there much interest in the 22 K Hornet reamer?

The 445 and 357 max reamers have people waiting in line, the 454, 45 ACP and K-hornet reamers are sitting here waiting for the next member who needs them.

Tim,

Just wanted to express a public thanks for your work keeping the reamers moving. If you get the 445 back tomorrow then it'll have been 1 week round trip!

I wound up with a set of 5.7x28 dies in a convoluted trade. A little study convinced me that they shouldn't be used to reload the weapons that the cartridge was designed for, but a Handi in 22mag reamed out and a .223 extractor might be a different story.

A rimless 22 hornet for all intents and purposes, but different.

I would buy a reamer and donate it to the program, but there wouldn't be much point if nobody else would ever be interested.

If you want to try a single-shot application of a machine pistol cartridge, vote for it here. If no one does, I'll forget it.

Austin from NC · « **Reply #15 on:** September 12, 2011, 02:04:18 PM »

I could be wrong but I don't think it will be popular as most prefer a rimmed cartridge. Sounds cool though I would like to have one and if I get a magnum barrel I might consider it. Would probably be hard to do by hand.

I wish there was a .45-90 reamer available.

You can rent one from GBO Sponsor 4-D Reamer Rentals.

myarmor · « **Reply #18 on:** September 13, 2011, 09:28:28 AM »

I think a 5.7x28 would be cool in a handi. Count me in.... now just need a 22 barrel

ibgp3 · « **Reply #19 on:** September 15, 2011, 02:30:05 AM »

Gonna be a lot of 5.7x28 brass laying around since most of the guns that shoot it can't use reloads.

4D has the reamer and the go/no-go gauges. Maybe I should respect the sponsor and just rent from them?

ibgp3 · « **Reply #20 on:** October 03, 2011, 01:52:35 PM »

Looks like Aaron and I are the only ones who want a 5.7x28 Handi.
Aaron, I'm gonna rent from 4D.

Pure awesome!

I PMed Tim on Friday, requesting to be put on the list for the K-Hornet and the Max reamers. I was sure there would be a wait for the Max, and sure didn't expect the K-Hornet to show up today(Monday) while I was at work. I'll have to be sure that I get off before the sun goes down tomorrow!

Thanks, Tim!

quickdtoo · « **Reply #22 on:** November 01, 2011, 02:50:54 AM »

You're welcome, glad to help, but the real thanks go to jeepmann1948 for donating the reamer to GBO.

HI! Been awhile.
Hope everything going well. My problems are old age. Although I haven't shot in 3 years, I still like to check the forums once in a while.
I noticed Swampman would like to use a ~~45/90 reamer~~ 45 cal throater which I have.
I bought it 3 or 4 years ago and reamed 2 barrels a 22 inch and a 32 inch.
I'll send you the reamer and you can send it to swampman if he still wants to rent one.
He can return it to you and it will be yours. The only thing I ask is to go to the top of the list
if by chance I should need one which I doubt.
If agreeable send your address.

ben.

quickdtoo · « **Reply #24 on:** November 11, 2011, 05:28:53 AM »

Works for me Ben, THANKS!!!

PM sent...

Tim

EDIT: The reamer I received is a 45 cal throater, I think Ben sent the wrong reamer, I sent a PM about it, ~~but he hasn't replied~~, he stated he rechambered two 45-70 barrels to 45-90, but I don't know how since the widest cutting surface is ~.459", a 45-90 chamber is neck is much wider than that at a minimum of ~.477", maybe since it was done by hand the reamer wobbled a bit and made it wider?

Swampman · « **Reply #25 on:** November 11, 2011, 01:17:57 PM »

I'd like to use it but I'll need to buy me another Handi Rifle first. I don't want to ream my #3 Ruger.

ratdog · « **Reply #26 on:** November 12, 2011, 08:51:14 PM »

it would be nice if the rented barrel crown cutter to.

quickdtoo · « **Reply #27 on:** November 13, 2011, 02:58:35 AM »

I have a 22 and 30 cal recessed crown cutter.

I just thought I would check in and see how far down the list I am for the 357 Max reamer.
