    Default Denver metro gunsmith with a .38-40 WCF chamber reamer?

    Howdy!

    Do any local gunsmiths have a .38-40 chamber reamer?

    I have an Old Vaquero with the dual cylinder .38-40 & .40 S&W set-up. The gun is great, but the chambers on the .38-40 are a bit tight, allowing Winchester factor .38-40 to fit fine, but Black Hills Cowboy Loads need a few thousandths more shoulder room. Both rounds chamber fine in my 1908 Colt New Service.

    Thanks!

    You can rent chamber reamers on line which is what I usually do for odd calibers
