This feller sells the tool. It’s exceedingly simple to do.

Bill, I can cone that barrel but it would be more economical for you to buy the tool and cone it your self.  Unlike most other tools on the market you can cone all calibers from 32 to 75 with my one tool.,, I have 8-32 tools in stock and it will be a short wait for the 10-32 tools. I replied to your e-mail also..,,,, Thanks, Ed

Thanks, all, for the help. Best site ever.  Yes, I spelled coning wrong.
