[QUOTE="CatShooter, post: 152880, member: 7"] [ QUOTE ] How do you know if your barrel is worn out? [/ QUOTE ] Because the accuracy goes down to an unacceptable level. Some velocity may be lost. [ QUOTE ] Do you lose accuracy, velocity, or both? [/ QUOTE ] Sorta both... but what you really loose is accuracy. [ QUOTE ] When a barrel is worn out can you hack off some barrel and re-chamber to clean up the throat or is the whole barrel length worn out? [/ QUOTE ] Just cut a little off of the chamber end, and rechamber it... the rifling does not wear out. It's the throat that burns out. "Wears out" is not a clear description of what happens. [ QUOTE ] Thanks [/ QUOTE ] Your welcome [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]
