I pulled the ram out of the tails stock in this new to me lathe and cleaned it up. There's scoring in the bore (female) of the MT3. What would be the best way to clean this up? Maybe rent a reamer and ream it a few thous deeper or?

Thanks team.

the idea is to knock down little high spots and burrs , removing as little material possible...even a badly scored one will grip a MT as long as there are no high points.

By hand only.
