[QUOTE="del2les, post: 2310361, member: 9299"] It depends.......on several factors. I have taken a few varmint barrels in 222, 223 and reamed them to 223AI and 22-250 &AI, a 243Win barrel reamed to 6RAI, and 308 to 30-06 and all those cleaned up and did very well. One of the best shooting 223AI's I ever had was reamed from a used 222 BR barrel. As for buying used and/or pull-offs barrels, I have bought a few, but only after inspection, at a good price (near free) and with specific reasons in mind. However for the most part and especially for different threaded actions, it is not something I recommend the average person pay a smith for. [/QUOTE]
