Wanted: 22LR Chamber reamer

[edwardyoung]

Before I spend $50 on a new one, does anyone have 22lr chamber reamer they'd sell? I've got a 1905-vintage Marlin 1897 with a chamber that needs cleaning up. Thanks

Remember you need a rifle chamber reamer, not just any reamer, just FYI.

Thanks. I didn't even realize there was a difference.

Revolver reamers have a pilot on the end to fit the chamber throats in the cyl.

A rifle reamer has a pilot to go past the chamber throat for proper alignment and fit the bore (lands of the rifling).

Actually to just clean up some rust in an already existing rifle chamber, a revolver reamer will do that because you're not actually reaming any metal away.
