[QUOTE="Blitzfike, post: 2391156, member: 807"] I've chambered many rifle barrels, doing an Ackley conversion should be very easy. use cutting oil liberally when doing any cutting with a chamber reamer. I just finished cutting the chamber for a 300 AAC in a blank that I turned and threaded for a Savage action. Took me about 45 minutes to cut the chamber starting from a bore size hole at the breech end of the barrel. You will have to put up a deposit on the reamer when you rent it, and if you return it with no more than normal wear on it you get you get your refund back. I don't currently own a 30-30 Ackley reamer, but I have about 12 other caliber reamers and headspace gauges. You need to use a headspace gauge as you cut to make sure you don't cut too deeply. If you do, the barrel breech needs to be faced off one complete thread and then cut the chamber to match, again using the headspace go no-go gauges. Good luck, its an easy and satisfying task.
