[QUOTE="JuddL, post: 1928693, member: 110787"] Let’s say the gunsmith charges you $100-150 to open the bolt up. I’d much rather put that towards a barrel. If for no other reason but to stack the odds in your favor. I’m like the guy above, I wouldn’t spend any money at all on a factory barrel. YMMV fwiw - I also refuse to pay a gunsmith to set back a barrel. If you pay them for barrel work, pay them to do a new barrel. The cost savings isn’t significant. If you have a lathe and can do the work yourself it makes sense. Also, someone mentioned if it cleaned up the existing chamber it would be worth it. I’ve never seen a gunsmith charge less in that scenario....nor should they, the setup is the same regardless. good luck, sounds like you’ve made up your mind regardless. [/QUOTE]
