Chamber iron for .22's...

Any of you used a chamber iron for a pinged .22 rimfire chamber? I have an old Stevens 87J that had a broken firing pin when I got it. Bought the upgraded bolt and firing pin from Numerich and fitted it but it also has a pinged up chamber. I know Brownells sells a chamber iron to fix this. Wondering how well they work or is there a better way. I do not want to have to pull the barrel to fix it unless it's just mandatory. I'm a sucker for old .22's with long barrels and tube mags and this one is even semi-auto with a locking bolt for firing shorts. Pretty cool gun and I really want to rescue it and put it to use.
