I bought a Model 63 at a bargain price because the owner said he had to pound the empties out with a mallet. He had sent it to Smith, and they returned it saying the chambers were oversized and they had no replacement cylinders available.

I rented a .22 Magnum reamer from 4D Reamers in Kalispell, MT. I think it was 40 bucks for a week long rental (plus added time for shipping). It worked like a champ and in a couple of hours I had a perfectly funtional .22 Magnum.
