And I can just saying it works great but work very carefully otherwise the shaft will break !

I bought one of his coning tools but never used it. ....preferred a White Lightning TH liner from Chambers....it's stainless steel and doesn't take a brown, but I don't mind it being quite evident on a darker bbl....but some do. Chambers also make the WL in regular steel that does brown. .....Fred

Years ago one of our members described an internal coning tool they made from a nail. I made one by flattening the head of a small finishing nail and filing to a cone shape. Then sharpened and case hardened with Kasenit. Honed it sharp. Shank had to be pretty short to fit in bore and pass thru the barrel wall. Chucked in my drill and ran it slow with cutting oil. Slow but it worked.
