PTG will ship direct to you. Their online ordering works well.

Where are you located?

G'day Kickinback, thank you for your reply I tried PTG and they said they could not help because of the ITAR export restrictions :( hence my enquiry for help here , as to your other question I am in Flagstaff Hill Adelaide South Australia.

Regards Paul. :)

That's weird, i know a lot of smiths who get reamers form them, when they answer their emails that is. Manson is the other good option, cost a little more but way better service.

Paul, just order it online. Your acct won't be debited until it ships so there are no dramas. Remove the human interface and misinformation and it's amazing what happens.

Worst case scenario I have the reamer, but it never leaves my workshop.

Cheers
Glen

I'm interested to see what the eventual outcome here is , not that I'm looking for another one of those wonderful calibres , but my smithy tells me he's been having really long waiting time on their responses. Hoping I'm wrong Paul , & Glen , hey if it doesn't leave your workshop does that mean it can be worked on a sub-contracting basis :)

G'day All , thank you for your input , I am trying to get a reamer so my gunsmith who builds custom rifles for Nightforce ( he is their resident gunsmith and my friend for 40 years ) but it is not worth their while to buy in a new reamer for one job :( so I thought the only way to get my gun built is to supply the reamer hence my diligent search for one as there are to many foxes down here that need the .20VT treatment :D they have grown to weary of the .14 squirrel and stay further out :( they are cunning little buggers :(

Regards Paul . :)
