Reamer Company/Maker

PTG was real easy to work with when I was building my 22-204, they set up my reamer to rechamber 223 barrels and rechamber 6x47Rem barrels to 6mm-204 with interchangeable pilot. That was 17 years ago things might have changed nobody was overwhelmed with work like they are now.

Not long after that, they tried three times to make me a 22-204, and never did get it right.

I finally sent a dummy to JGS, and they got it right immediately.

I also enclosed the 3rd PT&G reamer for them to measure for me. You would be floored to know how far off that one was in every dimension.
 
I've recieved good products from all three mentioned... but have to agree that PT&G would have the negatives, even the wrong and miss marked tools were sent, but I have purchased more items from them, than the others, so that may factor in. But they have alot of useful and many times quality items, but a number of products they sell are coming out sub par, and out of stock for a long time...that's my experience. Hope they change...
 
I’ve ordered some custom reamers from PT&G over the years. I spoke to Dave Kiff numerous times and he guided me in my designs. I just ordered a custom 223 match reamer and received it within the 4-6 weeks they indicated. Also I just ordered Go/NoGo gauges for my 223AI and Dasher, I had them in a couple of weeks.
I’m sure others are good and have heard positive things, but in my limited experience, I haven’t had any real issues.

I've talked to the folks at JGS a number of times and they're a great group of folks to deal with. I talked to Dave Kiff w/PTG a number of years ago and it was a positive experience but there are a lot of horror stories out there regarding PTG reamers not being to the spec people have ordered that I'd probably have a hard time using one of their reamers now. One of the gunsmiths I've used in the past liked Manson's reamers but said Dave could be a bit ornery.
 
Kinda like the love for Ford or Chevy. What works good for you is what you go with. PT&G, no issues. Just like the others, place your order and get in line.
If you wanted it YESTERDAY, you should have ordered it 6 months ago.
