I want to rebarrel a Stevens 44 1/2 in 218 Bee to a 20 Ackley Bee as my current barrel is about history. I see lots of 17 Ackley Bee reamers on gunsmith lists but no 20 caliber ones. Not being an old machinist, can a person chamber a 20 Ackley Bee using a 17 Ackley Bee reamer then cut the neck with a separate operation? Thanks for any help. Tom

Thanks Preacher. Merry Xmas and wishes for many happy days at the range this year. Tom
It can be done in a couple of steps as you originally asked. As Preacher said, PT&G (Dave Kiff) can make you a reamer to do all you want in one shot. Dave probably knows the specs off the top of his head.
