The vendor told me you need a 5 ton press. I'll watch PSI when i run
to know actual force.


As a matter of curiosity, will you use a 9mm / .3543" push rod (to
rifle the 9mm barrel) or go with something a little smaller, like
8.9 mm / .3504" or 8.5mm / .3346" ?


I went 8.5mm, almost went 11/32 then decided a couple thou clearance
might not be enough, not sure what ruff ID the button leaves before
honing
