As far as I know, Brownell's does export. I know for a fact they export to Canada and they provide instructions for international deliveries.
To Canada, there is a $100.00 ceiling for gun parts if you don't have the special import permit.
They do not ship any size of chemicals to Canada. I don't know why, but my guess is it has to do with the carriers.
A chamfer cutter is a tool and you should have no trouble getting it shipped to anywhere in the world that tools can be shipped.

Yeah but they do not ship to Europe,or at least only to some countrys,Sandy Moranville said something about problems with delivery.Well I have been buying mail order from the USA for the last 15 years at least and never had a problem with delivery so I dont know what she is talking about, but maybe she doesnt know either.Anyhow if anybody knows of another place that sells this tool please let me know.Thanks

Several of the outgits that make chamber reamers also make piloted crowning tools. Try ordering from the majufacturer. Clymer might be worth a try.

Try Midway. They list a PTG 11-Degree Muzzle Crown Tool for 78.99

Thanks guys,but the cutter I need is a forcing cone cutter for a 44 cal percussion revolver,There is no cone cut on it.and lead from the ball is getting shaved passing through and jamming in the cylinder gap locking up the gun.I reckon it would need very little work to sort out the problem,but I just want to be sure I do it right.I will try the addresses you gave me,but if you have any more suggestions or ideas please forward to me.Thanks

On a black powder revolver such as this the tool could easily be made if you have access to even a few tools. Using common drill rod turn a pilot to bore diameter. This should be done between centers and ground then polished to finished dimensions. A straight taper from bore diameter to chamber mouth diameter is turned and polished. Cut a single flute and relieve the shank for clearance. The clearance cut for the single flute is nearly nonexistant. Polish and harden per directions for the steel used. This usually entails heating 'til a magnet won't attract and holding there for a few moments(heat soak), then quench in the recommended medium(oil-water). I would not draw as the extreme hardess is not a drawback in a reamer. Polish the tool and sharpen from the cutting face.. Could be used hand held. The lead ball will allow one to get away with most minor tolerance problems. Hope you find what you need..
