Nice choice, if I was going to do one chamber I would rent 2 or more I would buy, and always get a finish reamer.
I do all my rough machining and reaming with a drill bit, mill bit, or a reamer that I was going to send out to have sharpened anyway, don't forget when you are cutting a new chamber with a finish reamer, the shoulder is doing 90%+
of the cutting, So you are taxing it and I find it looses it's nice crisp edge after the first chamber is cut.

Yes I have but you have to stick with them for them to work and to see a difference, I bounce back and forth so it kinda defeats the purpose.
I can't seem to post my Photo Bucket pics I hover the cursor over they Img Icon and click but nothing happens any suggestions anyone.

I did. I liked it because it virtually eliminated copper fouling. I'd go a season without cleaning the barrel.Have you ever tried moly coated bullets? I have some 69 gr for the .223 that I am going to try.

It is messy though. I stopped because I was tired of the extra step and messy fingers.
Messy meaning you coated your own bullets? I'm buying the SMK's in moly so that's not a concern.
That's the cleaner way of doing it. They put some kind of a wax coating that keeps the mess down.
I did my own.
What is the load you are going to use with those 69gr bullets.

A Cut Rifle barrel is 3 times as much as button rifle barrel, most people would not pay that but if you were into barrels and wildcatting and turning them you probably would be. I have several ARs but this is they only one that is getting that treatment, it will be a easy 600 yard gun when done which is not that common for an AR platform.

Why couldn't one just shorten the gas tube at they upper end, it is a nice straight section of tubing.
I don't have any pics I haven't shot the thing, let alone shot it out, I am going to find out more on thus subject.

Why would you cut the closed end instead of the open end?
