What do I use for a reamer extension...

[rdlange]

Want to ream a Glenfield/Marlin 336 to 30-30 AI because I can.  What do I use for a simple, effective extension?  Been using a sparkplug socket as the handle for reaming break open barrels.  Need something longer for the Marlin.

Thanks.

I have handles made to grip the reamer in a square hole with a screw and a cross rod on the other end to use for hand turning.. If it looks to take a bit, remove the barrel and use a lathe.. Depending on clearances a socket (thin wall) and an appropriate extension.

Go to the local hardware store and pick up a Drill Bit Extension. Turn it with a tap handle.

Thank you gentleman.  Tim advised me that the GBO 30-30 Ackley reamer comes with a PTG extension already.
