Reamer rentals?

Looking to rent a chambering reamer. Seems there are two sources 4D and Elkridge? As usual on line reviews are all over the place for both. Anyone here have recent experience with either or a preferred source? 
I'd gladly pay a member on here to use their 25-20 Single Shot reamer. I had to set a barrel back one half  thread and only need to deepen the chamber a bit.

Been a couple years but I have chambered 2 - 25-20ss barrels with 4D reamers.  No problems.

I have used both with no problems. Elk ridge sent a return label with theirs a few weeks ago.

I've used 4D a number of times and always had good luck. I had to wait a bit twice but ended up with brand new reamers to use both times.

Used them both and never got a bad reamer. Always sharp.

Pacific tool and gauge will sharpen their own.

I don't know if they are sharpened in house (I doubt it) or sent out. I think they are sent out as I needed a 40-60 Maynard reamer and was told it was "out for sharpening". I would think they are sent to the original manufacturer but again I am not sure. Anyone know?
