Finish reaming the minuscule amount that I suspect is necessary here is no more than a 30 minute job for an experienced gunsmith - providing they have the headspace gauges and don't have other jobs on the bench.
Although not recommended, it can even be done with the upper fully assembled and still attached to the lower.
I had some headspace issues with a Black Hole Weaponry 6x45mm barrel last year. Even though I just wanted the barrel fixed, they insisted on cutting a new barrel for me.
Turnaround was pretty quick and they put a custom finish on the barrel as "compensation". But...
Hey, guess what? They used the same worn out chamber reamer for the second barrel, too!
We went back and forth for a while about potential resolution, finally culminating in them stating that there's no way they could cut TWO bad chambers, and the barrel was now my problem.
It wouldn't have cost me much to rent a reamer, but I have future plans for more 6x45mm rifles, so I bought one. ...Easy fix, and now I get to share the stupid experience with BHW, at every applicable opportunity.
