[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 533415, member: 24624"] I beleive you already indicated the barrel is 6mm??? As such, you can send it back to your smith and have him clean it up a little. Or, you can have it rechambered to a slightly larger 6mm cartridge such as .243 Winchester, or 6x47 Lapua. ...although, I haven't checked all of the dimensions to verify that those would be fine. Or, you will need a new barrel if you want a 6.5mm anything. If you decide to rebarrel it, let me know and I'd like to buy the barrel. (I can't risk much since it's probably only good for a "tomato stake" as one of the other posters said.) But, I bought a lathe not too long ago and I'd like to practice cutting threads and such on it. -- richard [/QUOTE]
