Is there anyone here who has a 6.5 Creedmoor Match reamer they would be willing to loan out? I got accepted into the weekend gunsmithing program at Montgomery College near Ft Bragg and have a friend who is the head machinist at Davis Custom rifles. He has barreled my guns for a while and is offering to start teaching me how to use the lathe prior to the fall semester. I have two Krieger barrels I want to chamber up. He will do the first and instruct me in the second. I know I should buy my own but my summer leave period just got shifted and I don't have time to order my own reamer; PT&G and JGS are both 6 weeks out on that reamer.
If anyone is willing, shoot me a PM.
Thanks,
Keith

Dave Manson came through like rockstar. I talked to Dave Tooley for specs then called Manson. A week later, as promised, my reamer showed up: ![[Linked Image]](http://i1225.photobucket.com/albums/ee394/7mmfreak/Mobile%20Uploads/20150710_122622_zpsyortlqpw.jpg)

Now if you had a set of pilots to go with, you would be in great shape.

Dave Manson does all my reamers. He even suggests things I don't think of.

Too close for irons, switching to scope...
