Rechambering
Regarding potentially rechambering of take-off barrels.
1)Would rechambering a take-off barrel from .300 Win Mag to .300 RUM be doable and reasonable (financially)?
2)Would it be cost effective, if one is rebarreling? Is it better to get the correct chambered barrel to start with? Or is it best to just order the appropriate new barrel from the get go?
I have not as yet rebarreled any of my rifles, but need to do so. (Have not located gunsmith near by ... have to tie in with someone outside of my immediate area, so have been unable to converse directly with experienced gunsmith as yet.)

Hello Bruce,
Figured that might be the way that it would break. The rifle I have in mind is a hunting rig.
I know that it would depend on region, the Smith and such, but any idea of what is charged for rechambering and switching out the barrels?
Appreciated.

Looking for some help and input on cost and info in the big sandy area of ky to rechambering a Thompson center bull barrel in 357mag to 357 maximum when i find one i can afford. Cost is a issue, only have disability cks to work with. The MAX barrels all are going for more that this sr cit ex-vet can pay, the MAGS seem to be lower costing, btw if anyone has a beater barrel in those cals/ or 45/70 or7mm TCU, I'm looking, only beaters, can't afford the pretty stuff anymore, thanks for any input. 0 -

You could do it yourself with a rental reamer.
