8x57 [Standard] reamer!!

Hey guys,
Need some help. I am helping out an older [than even me] man fix up a beautiful old 98. He found a Kriegoff barrel [8x57] with all niceties like the ramp and express sights etc. First fly in ointment!! Receiver is Small Ring and the Barrel Large! Turned it down to .990 and chased the threads to a nice fit. #2 The barrel overregistered about half a thread so I set the shoulder/breech back a bit and set it TDC. Now the chamber is too short. Anyone got a 8x57 I can borrow to HAND deepen the chamber to headspace--about .030? One would think with the 120 + reamers I have I would have had one but no way! I will be glad to return the favor if needed.

Aloha, Mark
