That first one looks pretty cool.

Rather than an empty bump I have a question for people here.
How would you go about making a chamber reamer from scratch? I know people have done it, but seeing how much they cost I've pondered making my own. I just broke a .30-30 AI reamer and I don't quite feel like eating $140 bucks if I can do it myself.

Are you a good amateur machinist? You clearly aren't good at internet searches.

is a good howto but I suggest reading much more about making reamers in general.
Now you see why 140 bucks is cheap for what a specialty reamer does. Most machine shops don't make their own reamers because it's far less expensive than blowing much of one work day on one tool when a low flat rate is a hundred dollars an hour. Commercial shops are not cheap to run. Specialty shops can set up CNC equipment to make many of the same reamer at much lower cost which is why $140 reamers aren't hundreds more...
Machining is fun and I enjoy it more than shooting, but it's not a particularly cheap hobby. About five thousand bucks should get you a decent knee mill, lathe, tooling and measuring instruments.

I was on my way to work, somebody dropped it and it was presented to me a few minutes before I sat down to shut the computer down.
A quick ask solved three birds with one stone: answered my question without waiting years to search something up, bumped the thread, and provided information to other people.

How easy/difficult is it to make a magazine to fit a gun? There's a project gun I was thinking of picking up, but it does not come with a a magazine and the magazines cost more than the gun. If I can't find a similar magazine that just needs to be modified, I may just want to try to make one.

The hardest part of building a garage gun is making a magazine that feeds well.
