Jarno #5 Reamer - Yes, again!

[Bacchanalia]

Good thing I looked before walking out the door ;O)

Scratch the WD-40. Plus, I was about to tell you that we don't have a Harbor Freight...but after looking online, apparently we do...in a part of town I hardly ever go, but we do have one. So now I'm excited to see a new toy...uh, I mean tool store.

Thanks again for your help Dan.

And everyone else who has added to this thread, for that matter!

Well, Dan's reamer did a fine job of opening up that receiver. I might have been a little too conservative - or maybe just chicken ;O) - but I only pushed it to the point where an American shank MP goes in about .85". It's not quite as far as I wanted, but it's a huge improvement over the 1/4" or so where it started out. I just thought it was starting to look a little too thin around the outside to push it any further.

Thanks to everyone who helped me with the learning curve and especially Dan for trusting me with his Jarno #5!

The one I own is a helical flute hand reamer. It cuts a lot quicker but a straight fluted one will do just as good a job when used in brass.
