Parker Bros. 20 Gauge Chamber Reamer
To the Member who bought one of these at a Silent Auction a few years ago: If at all possible, I would like to borrow or rent it from you please. I have a gun that doesn't like to let go of a fired shell in the right chamber only.
Thanks in advance for your generosity. |
Dean,
If you can't find a "Parker" reamer you are welcome to use my 20 GA 2 3/4" reamer. Bob Jurewicz |
You might not like the shiny finish it leaves but a ball hone would probably work pretty well.
|
Thanks Bob - that may be an option.
Greg, what kind of finish does a ball hone leave? |
Dean- there is a video on this maker's website about the hones

I actually didn't realize they marketed those hones specifically towards shotguns.
But in any case they will leave more of a homogenous, smooth, shiny finish than a reamer. A reamer will leave a duller finish with visible toolmarks, albeit slight ones. The nice thing about a ball/flex hone is you can 'creep up' on the finished dimension more easily. With a reamer you're moving up in more definite increments. |
But the ball hone will remove metal while leaving a polished finish?
|
I have a number of their hones that I use to "polish" bores. You will work a long time before you remove any real meat from the barrels.
I would recommend a brake cylinder hone. Risking criticism, I will confess to using these to smooth the metal after reaming chokes. Bob Jurewicz |
Yes, it will remove metal. From what you describe, I would get the hone balls wet with oil, and the barrel, and run it in a cordless drill. I'd expect it would take 5-10 minutes total, with some as-you-go checks.

I was leaning toward the brake cylinder hone.... Might try it first.
Thanks guys! |
