I bought the reamer from clymer about 6 years ago when they would turn a custom reamer for less than $100 so I could chamber a bbl for my gov model, and liked it so much I have built a couple of rifles and rechambered my 30 carbine black hawk revolver, the neatest thing I have done with it is chamber a bunch of chamber inserts that look just like 12ga shells, work great thru my 870, and shoot minute of squirrel at 35 yds

:rofl:

Last couple of weeks I've tryed to find a 5.45x39 chamber reamer and was surprised to find they weren't around. May need to go that route but of course $100 won't do it anymore!:angry:

I'm sure that a 5.45x39 reamer will have to be custon/special ordered. However, anyone who makes the headspace gauges for that cailber should be able to make one. The cost however is unknown.

Picked up a Logan lathe today and was hoping I could figure out how to drill some and run a liner in.

My standard learning curve will put me shooting it in 2010!

You know. I think you are on to something. 7.62x25 would make a sweet small game cartridge for use in the woods (read, short range). I am imagining it would be perfect in a mini-Mauser or a small lever action. Have you ever checked the muzzle velocity out of a carbine length barrel? Will it break 2000fps?

the destroyer would make a great platform for the x25 , I have not chronoed the rifle but will later in the week, I imagine 2000 fps would be obtainable, the yugo ammo runs over 1600fps out of my goverment model 5" bbl
By goverment model, do you mean a 1911? I tried putting some 7.62x25 ammo in a 38 Super 1911 magazine, but they are just long enough to bind up and get stuck in the mag. How did you make this work?

Read Spanish Destroyer carbine. 9mm Largo. Very similar to the 7.62x25
Thanks for pointing that out. That is one rifle that I had completely overlooked. It would be sweet in 7.62x25.

Anyone know where I can get one that needs a new barrel?

I know whe you can get one, but the rifle is near mint. I think the guy want around $300 for it.

It could be either one. GETIT over at Akfiles.com has successfully completed a blowback design ak in 7.62x25. It is in the gunsmithing thread.
