[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 529910, member: 24284"] If the original chamber was not concentric to the bore a simple 'rechambering' will not be either[I] unless[/I] the original chamber is removed with a small boring bar and there is enough barrel shank to set the barrel back before cutting another chamber. Few factory barrels have enough barrel shank to do this. All must be concentric to the bore. Other wise the the recut chamber will follow the old, out of line, chamber regardless . If, when putting the barrel in the lathe for the 'rechamber', the barrel was dialed in using the old chamber instead of the bore, nothing was gained as the 'new' chamber is as far from concentric to the bore as the original chamber was, maybe more. You might make "a silk purse from a sows ear" given enough material and the proper methods, but, it always costs extra! [/QUOTE]
