I guess I should be happy I chose the K Hornet instead, then. I was thinking about getting a .223 bolt assembly, mag well, and reaming my CZ527 22H out to 221FB. Glad I didn't, that would have been a much more expensive route than the 22KH route I chose.

Hey, if you want 221FB ammo in stock from a very reliable seller, go to reeds ammunition. He has tons of loads for the most niche calibers in existence. I spoke to him, so I know he has loaded 221FB ammo that you can use as a source of brass if you choose to reload.

Man, that sucks.
Wonder if you could rent one and get your gun made and shooting, much sooner

Do you try Manson's or one of the outfits that rents reamers ? Bet you could find one faster.

They don't have the free bore and lead I want . And once you put the money down on a reamer it's GONE no money back you just wait for the reamer when ever they get around to it .

I ordered a 221, 222, and a custom .2438 throater from Dave Manson recently. Received them all in 3-4 weeks.

Timely service and quality!!

You going to try a 6mm 221 ?

[Nor Cal Mikie]

Midway lists them. Beats waiting.

ArtinNC, you may just wanna look elsewhere for the reamer. I wouldn't wanna wait that long, as you may lose interest and move on to another caliber or miss out on component availability.
