Gunsmith to convert t2k barrel from 6xc to 6slr

I have a 6xc barrel for my t2k sitting on the shelf, and would like to try the 6slr. If I understand correctly, it is just a 6xc that is a little longer.
Does anybody know of a gunsmith with a 6slr reamer?
 
Make sure u check which reamer the smith has. They make them with several different freebore for selected bullet weights. Also, check for no-turn neck!
 
I always worry about discontinuities when asked to modify an existing chamber with a different reamer.

Robert spec'ed his reamers for Winchester and Remington brass. If you use Lapua, you have to neck turn them for proper clearance. Just something to be aware of.
I would think that you could run the SLR reamer in to the XC chamber and just lengthen it without having to mess with the tenon. Only issue I can think of is that you may have to single load the SLR cartridges as the magazines may not allow for the full length with bullets loaded long.
