Reamer Exchange Thread? (Reamer bank) & other tools barrel / action wrenches & vices

Thanks "double gun" and "hunter5425". "Ordering direct" - years ago ordered a WCF 40-82 chamber reamer for an 1886 I was relining dct from PT&G - an absolute GONG SHOW - sent the specs from "The Handloaders Manual of Cartridge Conversions" AND a dummy round from my RCBS loading die. After a PAINFULLY long time reamer arrived and reamed a sample chamber on a liner stub. Dummy round wouldn't chamber. Called PT&G - no one would take responsibility. Wrote registered "snotgram" - got a response "it wasn't our fault but send it back" (at my expense) Bottom line ... on THIRD ATTEMPT finally it worked. Main problem was no ONE person to talk to and it was always "someone else's" fault...
All my work is in restoring/relining old Winchester lever guns 73's, 1886, 1892 and 1894's (no post 94's grrrr)
You guys are welcome to borrow my chamber reamers (if you're into this stuff)

I quit using ptg for reasons similar to yours. They make too many mistakes and the company is brutal to deal with. That said, manson is my go to company now, and You won't have the same issues. JGS is excellent aswell.
 
Anyone have a 303 British reamer with a pilot in the range of 0.2990" - 0.2995"?

I'm also open for suggestions on the best place to find such a thing, I'm willing to buy brand new.
 
Looking for savage smooth barrel nut wrench, 308 reamer and 308 go-no go gauge. Also anyone know what is the thickest barrel I can use on a savage action?
