I've got an M48 Yugo Mauser that I had to have rebarreled, and the new barrel is just about 5 thousandths too short, so it needs to be finish reamed. I actually have the 8x57 PTG finish reamer. My dad, who is a machinist, claims this step can be done by hand, as I don't need to cut much.
Well, I've been screwing with it this evening, and I don't have any hand tools that can get a good grip on this damned thing. I can turn it by hand some, but my headspace gauge is clearly telling me I ain't cutting shit. What kind of tools do you need to grab this thing good and properly and get a decent cut going? I'm leary of taking it to a local smith. Most of the smith around here are, to put it blunty, retards. I don't trust them with my rifle or reamer. |
