Ironing out chamber

[kurt IA.]

Any one know a good way to iron out a 22RF, chamber? It has a buldge in it from dry-fireing, I have never done one so any help is welcome.

Brownells offers a tool for removing such dings. http://www.brownells.com

Yea, I know Jim. It's just that I hate to buy something that in 20 years I never had a call for, till now.

I always used a .22 chambering reamer, but a drill of the right size (turned by hand) or a rat tail file will work OK also. If you want to try to pound the metal back instead of just removing it, insert a piece of drill rod or the un cut end of a drill into the chamber and tap the side opposite the firing pin dent. This will straighten it out unless it is really bad.

Thanks Jim Keenan. Did the reamer thing, seams to be OK now.
