Need Chamber cut and fitted to Large ring 98 action

I could use a referral from someone who knows good work when they see it. I have a Lothar Walther stepped barrel for a K98 with .264 bore that is not chambered. It is threaded and crowned. I would like to make a 260 Remington so I could use necked down 308 brass. My tastes are simple I want the best. Message or E-Mail me kysunfish@comcast.net Thanks

If they have a 4 jaw chuck and steady rest I can pay the bill. I'm not interested in a slop job

Better is a turned center in the head stock and steady rest. You cant get in side the 4 jaw to indicate the bore in. Or a 4 jaw and a spider.

Note the pumped coolant. And the floating reamer holder. If the smithy is not using pumped coolant, go somewhere else.

I have chambered around 200 barrels in my lifetime, when I first started I was doing it all wrong.

I only work on my personal rifle builds now. Current project is a 9.3x62 on a 98 action.

I have done about 6 without flush coolant and I have had no problems!
I have to go slow and clear the chips often. I use sulphur thread cutting oil and kerosene to wash the chips off the reamer and air to clear the chamber.
I was taught by a master machinist and gunsmith that built quite a few rifles for me and plenty of other people.

Calling John Taylor.

Lot of us have the knowledge and equipment to properly chamber barrels. The issue is to receive the action the smith will need an FFL unless the owners is physically present.

I could ship it to someone who has a C&R with the original barrel screwed in. I have a Barrel vise and receiver wrench. I have a valid C&R

I'm backed up about 6 months.

Anything worth having is worth waiting for. Thanks John Taylor

Nothing at all wrong with those methods. I do it the same way without any problems using a double spider and a floating reamer holder I built for myself.
