[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1242714, member: 2736"] WOW. That looks pretty bad. I would also get it replaced because if you lapped it enough to clean it up, it would be oversized to the point of poor accuracy. I am not pushing premium barrels, But this is not unusual for discounted barrels and the inconsistency in there quality. When you spend the money on the Gunsmithing and have to redo the rifle, the savings are not worth the potential problems and cost. Plus the time and money trying to find a load that works. The barrel Is the heart of any good/accurate rifle. The best smith in the world can't make a poor barrel shoot. MY suggestion for a barrel purchase is buy the best that you can find and the best that the barrel maker makes (They have the tightest specifications). The cost difference between a discount barrel and a premium barrel on average is $100.00 to $150.00 dollars. The cost of a re barrel and chamber is 4 to 5 times that so you save nothing. I hope they will replace the barrel, but I wouldn't count on it because it has been fired. Good luck J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
