What planet are you from Fredo? Kidding, Pacific Tool & Guage. They make reamers n stuff. They were growing too fast for a small company and long backorders were common, they have moved and expanded and hired some new sweet ladies to answer the phone.

I'm from Mars, according to some books.

Quite a specialized gunsmithing shop! Thanks for sharing.

If you own a custom rifle built in the last few years odds are your chamber was cut with one of their reamers.

While I do have a few reamers from them I will not buy another - ever.

Good to hear I haven't been ordering anything from them out of fear of not seeing it for 10 months. Think I'm done with there reamers though.

[Skytop B]

Yes, I have heard of guys getting out of spec reamers so far I have not had any issues, I only have ten or eleven from them though.

If they are good enough for guys like Chad Dixon, Gordy Gritters and Bob Pastor, they are good enough for a hobby guy like me.

Sky.... lol thread.... really... lots of good chuckles. They appear to have restructured or maybe even bought out like many larger rifle parts makers etc. Things look like they are improving. I suspect pricing will follow as well....

I've had 2 out of a dozen that have been crap. Maybe I should send them back and get them fixed or replaced.

I only have a few reamers ... both JGS and PTG ...but not similar chamberings so can't compare any "paper" results ... but both seem to deliver satisfactory results after comming off the lathe of a good smith with a good barrel. Perhaps top flight BR shooters may notice a downrange difference, but even they might be hard pressed to ascribe differences given the other two big factors in the equation -- the quality of smithing and the quality of the "hardware" (barrel / action).

I like their muzzle brakes.

We aren't talking about down range performance necessarily. We are talking about a product that isn't cutting properly.

All the ones I had cut through 416 & 4140 like butter, lucky I guess. Only time I had a little chatter was when I had the new floating reamer holder a little too loose, tightened up and fixed the chatter with the wax paper trick and never had an issue again.
