45 ACP Reamer?
« on: March 29, 2011, 01:09:41 PM »
Okay, after a little big of thought (a lot of thinkin' makes me head hurt :P) I have decided to stick to the orginal plan and have a 45 ACP Handi built, as opposed to a 45 WM Handi.  Anyway questions are:

1. Anybody in the Handi world have a 45 ACP chamber reamer they want to rent?

2. If the answer to question #1 is negative, then how many folks out there would be interested in renting a 45 ACP reamer if I decide to buy a new one?  (Note:  Item 2, would require me to get GBO approval and would rent like the other chamber reamers we have).

thanks

It would require a donor stub and a barrel but it is very possible.

My FFL holder requires any firearms to be shipped to them via another FFL holder.  So, If I make an offer on a firearm please let me know if this is capable of being done from the start.  Please do NOT mark an item "SPF" to me until we "both" are happy with and in agreement on shipping, funds and the transaction in general.   Thanks

Stub or a liner.  I have a Green Mountain barrel blank, a 20 ga barrel on an SB1 frame with TDC furniture and a very good friend with quite useful metal working talents. ;D  Will post pics when it is done.

I am doing the same project, have the same barrel, 15, 16,17  April. I purchased a new 45 ACP finish stile reamer from Brownells. I will sell it to you for half price. After I use it once. If you can wait until the end of April. It is a solid pilot. And I am in Fla. retrieving my son from college and won't be back until the 9th.

The 45 ACP is a different animal in a carbine length barrel. They are an absolute hoot to shoot!
I shoot a swinging steel target at 100 yards, takes a while to get there but really nails it. I load
200gr Laser Cast SWCs.

I have wanted to do this project for many years. I have a South American made ( FIE ??) shotgun receiver  and the barrel lug saved for about 30 years just for this purpose. I planned to buy a barrel from Numrich...
 I have seen these made up on small ring Mauser actions, great plinkers !!      Great Idea !!    PJ
