[QUOTE="MoreSalsa, post: 2561599, member: 120766"] I've done a fair bit of reviewing of threads on the matter and the re-boring idea seems like something that a lot of folks are wary of in theory but the folks who actually do it tend to report very good results ... at least when they use JES. JakeC, you know you made me think of something I hadn't thought of. There is an old M1917 in the family. It's a sporterized version with a chopped down barrel (guessing 20'') and shoots not well. I have assumed that the bore is in rough shape, perhaps among other things. I used it attempting to hunt as a youth and hated its sights and lack of accuracy, so I never really gave it much thought. But you have me wondering if a re-bore could transform it into an accurate rifle. My money is no, as I'm guessing there are issues beyond the bore and I know that there are a lot of M1917s with QA issues, but I'd love to hear any thoughts you have if you know about those fugly rifles.
