The borescope that Mark did confirmed that the Liberty barrels do have a compound throat... a rough one but it's there.
If you're getting a JGS reamer dulled from the neck back won't that allow for quite a bit of slop in the indexing? Seems like dull blades might not center the cutting portion in the throat as well? I'm not claiming this, just asking, as I have no idea.
The reamer I am having made is being made to the exact dimensions of the 6.5 Grendel SAAMI chamber. My understanding having talked to several reamer makers is that they believe there should be 0 issues using this style of reamer to extend the throat without changing headspace and maintaining the compound throat....even done at home with a t-handle and high sulfer cutting oil since the chamber already exists. So no I don't believe there should be any indexing issues with the reamer having a body to shoulder that doesn't cut. This reamer is made by JGS, who is one of the top quality reamer makers and I trust they will make it to the high standard they are well know for.
Right now the projected date to receive the reamer is in early June.
I'm thinking that right now just taking a headcount of all those that want in is best so I can decide the best course of action as for how to split the charges goes. I will also be the guinea pig to test the reamer before sending it to others to use.
Send me a PM titled something about the reamer so I can easily track who wants in on using it.
Thanks
