If you ridge ream (as I heard somewhere :) that I should) doesn't that
make it possible to use stock rings? I can rent a ridge reamer free for
nothin' from a parts store, so shouldn't I be set with that?
I don't know, I've never done it, but that's the way I thought it works.
If it isn't, let me know quick, if I'll be getting rings from Germany... :)
