I don’t post much but have to give a shout out to Dave Manson Reamers. Great tools, even better ppl to deal with.
Long story short - I’m a tinkerer/bit of a perfectionist who enjoys working on my own stuff. Not a ‘smith. After learning of Dave Manson Reamers, I bought a crown kit plus a few extras. Had some questions Blake Ross walked me through and all I can say is “wow! Easy peasy.
I’ve recrowned and polished my Kimber 82G, an old Marlin .22, a couple .30 cals and they’re puuuuuurfect!! Noticed my .338-06 and .35 REM could benefit from a crown & polish so ordered arbors for them just today. Spoke with Blake again and he remembered me from before. Had a real nice conversation and as before before, he kindly took the time to explain a few things to me. A true gentleman at a great company!
Best of all, my crown and polish jobs are done right, without pulling barrels or paying for the service. That’s my experience and anyone with the least bit of talent can easily do the same thing. Every rifle I’ve done shoots better than it did. These are good tools. FWIW.
