Anyone have a 9mm Luger Chamber Reamer I Can Borrow?
Seems none of my local gunsmiths have one so I was wondering if someone would be willing to let me pay some shipping and a rental fee instead of buying one. I have two AR9 barrels that have bullets engaging rifling when chambering a round so I need a little reamer action.

I guess I'll respond first, and I am not questioning your abilities just would like to know - Are these factory rounds or reloads? If reloads, is the OAL correct? How did you determine they were contacting the rifling - by just dropping them into the chamber or chambering a round with the bolt?

Re: Anyone have a 9mm Luger Chamber Reamer I Can Borrow?
Happens with my reloads and factory rounds of various make. My reloads chamber fine in numerous other guns. I chambered with the bolt. When I do take the effort to knock out a chambered round with a rod down the bore, rather than shooting it out, I can see the rifling marks on the bullet coating/jacket.
I bought the first barrel from peacegeek for cheap as a factory second barrel or something. I told them about the chambering issue and they told me no one else reported an issue. They told me to keep the barrel and sent me a second one at no charge. It does the same. I can’t complain about their customer service at least.
Otherwise the barrel is 100% functional and I have already used it for a year of USPSA matches. I am just tired of my special way of unloading and showing clear.Last edited by JoshIronshaft; February 29th, 2020 at 03:51 PM.

Thanks for the answer. Sounds like the barrel manufacturer isn't going in quite far enough with the chamber reamer. If I had one I'd loan it to you but I don't, sorry. Hopefully someone on the western side will have one.

Almost sounds like you need a throat reamer, that way you dont affect headspace. I only have one in 7.62 though

Well a throating reamer is about $10 cheaper!
