Quality Reamer
Made easy work of hand cutting chamber and throat on the Kart .45 ACP barrel. Smooth cutting and precise. Moved the throat forward in relation to chamber enough to allow chambering of the longer OAL loads I usually prefer.

Works great
My CZ 75 Compact would not feed normal length 9mm ammo. A little light ream and problem solved.

Quality reamer
This is a quality chamber reamer, worked perfect for the job.
Very handy
First pistol reamer Ive purchased and its a very well made piece, cut my Kart barrel no problem. No cons to mention. The Built in pilot and throated was a very nice addition.
Recommened for all new pistols
I had several new pistols that would not load 145gr coated bullets longer than 1.12 inches. Ran the finish reamer through and all pistols I can load out to SAMMI lengths, if I wanted to, without having to use a throater. Even used it to fix one short factory chamber that would not close on a Go Gauge, also from Manson. Very sharp and felt like it was digging in but pulled back and reamed little by little. Probably was catching on the barrel rifling. Once cut, the reamer spun very smooth without changing head space. Just wished Brownell's sold the tap handle to fit this reamer. Had to order from Mason.
Does the job.
The reamer did what it was designed to do. I have a competition custom 45 barrel for a 1911 and the chamber was just a bit too tight causing it to be super picky about ammo. A very small amount of finish reaming did the trick.
A "Must Have" For 1911 Tinkerers
I bought a used pistol that somebody had MOSTLY fitted a Bar-Sto barrel to, but then gave up because the chamber was undersize. An hour of careful work with the Manson Finishing Reamer and I was good to go. Work slowly, the tool sets the headspace, so you need to check your progress often.
Works flawlessly
I bought this to fix the chamber on an old WWII-era pistol. I could not be more satisfied. It worked great and left a perfect result. I've never used a chamber reamer before, but using this was easy. Only downside I can think of is that if you try to use this reamer to cut chambers in a blank, you might need another reamer to do the throat of the chamber, as some ammunition won't fit otherwise. But that is not the intended use of this reamer as far as I know.
Super sharp, super fast
I used this too convert my 45acp barrel to 460 Rowland. The tool is so sharp that I was able to easily lengthen the stainless steel chamber with no T-handle or vise, just my two hands!
