[QUOTE="Sage70, post: 2543933, member: 119027"] Yes, I have had the job done four times and every time it's worked well. I have only done it with featherweight rifles because they do not have the screw into the bulge on the bottom of the barrel. It requires a lathe and someone who knows how to do the work. The job may require removing a small amount of metal in front of the barrel shank so the barrel can be rotated slightly to line up the witness mark and then a finishing reamer may be required to set the headspace. My gunsmith usually takes about two months to do the job because he has to work it in with other jobs. He is in Tulsa, Oklahoma and does really good work. Just be sure that the barrel you want to use has the same thread pattern because because late model barrels are different. You need to talk to the gunsmith by phone and discuss the job to confirm the pricing before you ship the action and barrel. Send me a PM if you want his location and phone number. [/QUOTE]
