You use a chamber reamer.
Will be very problematic if it is chrome lined.

i know the tooling but im not going to do it myself, our mills are not the tight we have very open tolerences.

I've considered having my LMT barrel recut to the spcll also! Would like to hear if anyone has had this done and with who as well.

There was a reamer being passed around on the 68Forums, I haven't seen the thread surface lately though as most went with a SPCII bbl.

Try AR15 Performance or Bison Armory, both of those guys know the 6.8X43 well.

Or just don't waste your time. Unless you're shooting a few certain factory loads it doesn't matter.

I do believe it is a Michigun(sp?) pull-through reamer. It is worth a shot to go on the forum & check it out. The LMT also uses a 9.5 twist. Not the best.
Oh, it matter if want to load past 2.26. PRI, ASC, & CPD all have capacity past 2.85.


It was a super cheap deal for a reason. So was the Pinto.
