When I talked to someone at Dave Mansons shop I asked if dulling the reamer would work and he said a regular reamer would be better if done carefully.
I would think you could blue the shoulder area of the chamber and go slow with light pressure turning the reamer till you feel it start into the shoulder or see any blue getting scraped off the shoulder.
The barrels are soft steel and it should cut easily.
If somebody doesn't want to try it themselves it might be better to find someone who has the feel for doing it by hand.
It shouldn't cost much since it would only take a few minutes for somebody with the skill.
When I bought my manson reamer I resold it for more than half what I paid after I got done with it.
