[QUOTE="seattleman1969, post: 2081901, member: 84285"] It depends on your action and your chosen barrel manufacturer. Regardless, you either order a barrel that is chamber reamed and hopefully cut for action already the have a gunsmith install and headspace, or, order a blank in the caliber that you want and pay a gunsmith to chamber, cut, and install. The former can be much cheaper than the latter as it is much less time for the gunsmith to perform machining work and much less room for possible error (Not that it's common for smiths to make errors, but it can happen). Regardless, a rebarrel will cost you the same as a $100 factory rifle, but, you have a custom barrel made for your gun to your specs, and GENERALLY more accurate than a factory barrel. If you keep your old barrel you can also swap back to your old chambering with a little bit of mechanical knowledge and a go/no go gauge. [/QUOTE]
