Greetings.

I'm in need of a couple of used finishing reams. I'm aware that I can buy them new from Clymers, but the 44-40 is a custom order ream and not willing to pay $180 just for the ream to rebarrel my Marlin 1889. The 38-55 will be used to build a BPCR rifle on a 1876 Rolling Block receiver.

I've never seen any chamber reams at gun shows.

Thanks.

Steven

Their charts are a bit confusing, but it looks like you can rent them for $26 apiece.

Bye

Thanks Jack. I'll check them out. They have both the 38-55 and 44-40 (in rifle) . If I dont' make them myself I'll probably go to them for it.
