Fred at 4-D reamer rentals has it and the headspace gauge. They are well cared for and a lot cheaper than buying a new one.

I always take the opposite tack; renting reamers is a losing proposition; consider that renting a reamer will cost you $60 by the time you get it back, and you only get to keep it one week. Buying this one will cost you $140; the more common calibers are less. So your delta cost is $80. But then you own it and it is worth $80; your buddies will want one too, and you can always sell it to other AR guys for 80 dollars. As for gauges, use your ammo for a go gauge. If you want to buy one, get the no go one.
Some guys buy the go and add shims to it. I don't do that. My ammo is the go gauge if I don't have both, which I usually do.

Thanks Jim & dpcd for your comments. Sent an E-mail to 4D but no answer yet. From info on the website it appears that he expects tools to be back in 17 days from when he ships. My concern is finding the best shipping. I would expect Purolator or Fed Ex would be quickest . Anyone with experience with this ?

Not sure to Canada but here Priority Mail is best for this size of package, and the post office gives you the box. $8 plus a couple for insurance.

I've had a number of things shipped to Canada from the U.S. Bear in mind, the costs are significantly higher than within the U.S. alone. Add to that, most companies insist on shipping by a less-than-cheapest option, both for security and for their convenience. AND you'll be paying the bill BOTH ways. Weigh up the costs carefully. You must do what works for you, but the math told me it made more sense just to buy outright in my case. Granted, I envisioned the possibility of more than one use, but you can also factor in the potential of reselling, if you decide you no longer need it. Even if you don't turn a slight profit, you can certainly recoup the difference versus renting. And when you sell it, the buyer pays the shipping, instead of you paying to ship it back to the renter. It's your choice, but I just find shipping cross-border inevitably works out more expensive than it seems at first glance.

P.S.: Just checked my most recent package from the U.S. Approximately the same size item was $27.90 USPS Flat Rate International. That's ONE-WAY, and in U.S. dollars. The return cost would have been less via Canada Post, but not much. It took 8 days from day of shipping until it arrived in my P.O. box. That doesn't really fit his 17-day window, so you should verify that he doesn't have a late fee for international customers, on top of the added shipping costs.

As I said, I find it better to buy them, even if you are in the US and being up there makes it even more appealing.
