30 Luger Reamer please

oldphardt · 01-27-2014, 11:44 PM

I am trying to restore a 10 inch barrel which was improperly chambered - 0.025 to deep. Got it turned back one thread, re-threaded, and now I need to deepen the chamber by about 0.024 inches. Does anyone have a reamer they would be willing to sell me? Something with enough life to do 0.025 inches. Thanks. Dennis

There are two reamer rental sites commented on here - 4D is one, I don't recall the other, but the cost is minimal - Something like $20...I rented one some time back, it was brand new...

The other is www.ReamerRentals.com

4D is a 7-day rental, Elk Ridge [ReamerRental.com] is a 3-day rental. 30 Luger is not listed at 4D but IIRC I inquired & they emailed me that they did have it...

Edit: 4D is $32 now; Elk Ridge is $36...Price went up...

No deposit required if you pay by CC...

Interesting barrel...Did you machine it yourself from a blank???

I have a 30 cal blank and was thinking of a 30 cal artillery barrel...

How about some pics???

I actually got this barrel off ebay advertised as 'rifle barrel with wooden case' When I looked at the photos it was an aftermarket barrel from probably the '30s with nice front ramp sight and no rear sight. The wood case looked like a shoulder stock but was not. Nice though. Barrel had the barrel extension attached. I just popped sear set and ejector onto the barrel/extension and shot it. Punched primers and ejection problems resolved into excessive headspace. Don't know how to post photos or where.

I had looked into 4D and R/R rentals but with me gone so much plus my prejudice for owning the tool I use I prefer to just buy one, use it when I get the time, then ebay it.

So.... anyone willing to part with a 30 luger reamer?

We shall see if I can attach photos. Please excuse the barrel clamp - it is not a factory rear sight. Dennis. I just do not like having to work to a 3 day rental where the cost to me is about 1/3 of the new price. I am gone to much to guarantee I will be somewhere with the barrel chucked up, supported and trued up on the day the reamer arrives.

4D rentals are for 7days, not including mailing time. I recently rented two from them. They ship them priority mail and the ones I got looked new. They are excellent people to work with.
