.22 Hornet to .22 K-Hornet, Cost?

[eldon519]

Hello, I'm thinking about buying a .22 hornet and having it reamed out to .22 k-hornet. I'd like to have a price estimate of about how much the work should cost, so I can call around and try to find a fair quote. Anyone have any idea what it should run?

I just recently paid to have a barrel set back and recut on my Mauser. $80 total cost. Opening up a 22 Hornet chamber to K-Hornet should be right in that ball park or lower.

If the smith already has the reamer paid for, around $25. If not, he will sock you for at least part of the cost of a rarely used reamer or the cost of renting one.
