He did so, and kept the material it took off so he could show me. It was a distressing amount that made me very glad I never tried to shoot 5.56-case ammo through it. Up until that point, I was at the point of being able to intellectually acknowledge what I'd read up about their chambers and what the WTBn guys had to say, but that pile of shavings was a pretty visceral lesson.
That'd be a Ned Christainsen chamber reamer I'm thinking of, right? Are there others? Good/Bad/Ugly?
Buzz, for castle-nut staking and other boilerplate AR considerations, check the stickied threads in either the AR GD or AR Technical subforums; specifically, the ones marked Knowledge Base Threads. You'll find ALL SORTS of stuff that you may not have been aware of regarding your AR, and that you'll probably be glad to know, now.
