450 Chamber reamers?

[Stealthshooter]

I was wondering if there is anywhere to get a 450 reamer? I'm seriously thinking about doing a build instead of waiting. If I could get a reamer it would make things easy!! Plus then I could get my 22" barrel that I REALLY want!!!

Yep. http://www.mansonreamers.com

Manson ground my 450B reamer and turned my chambering gauges. His reamers are finished like jewelry, and perform very well. He also makes them to correct dimensions; he grinds the reamers that Bushmaster uses in their production work. While Manson can produce a reamer as rapidly as any other maker, it's still a couple months wait as I recall. Call him and ask.

None of the usual reamer rental places had a 450B reamer available a few months ago. That may have changed by now.

Good luck, and let us know how things work out.

Thanks guys! I'll give him a call tomorrow.

Now what would be the best option for the barrel blank?

FYI, I have used Dave for some thirty years or so. His work is way beyond reproach. He does all of my R&D reamers and gauges and carries many highly useful tools. I had him do the original 45 Pro and then the 450 Bushmaster reamers/go, no-go gauges and he built them for bushy.

Diffidently "THE" go to guy.

If you call him please mention that I sent you..
