Travers has all 3 taps in that size, @ ~$20 each...

4D and Elk Ridge both have the 30 Mauser reamer, IIRC. ~$35 to rent for 4 days or something like that...I was able to turn down a Craftsman 3/8" drive x 6" extension to fit inside the Mauser barrel extension...You can ream it with the new barrel in place...

Getting rid of that up-angle is a challenge...Please post how you do it!
