[QUOTE="Dean2, post: 2142169, member: 26077"] Impossible to tell from the picture and be 100% sure but given I can see a step in the barrel near the chamber my bet would be it likely is the original.. If you check the proof marks on the underside of the barrel you will quickly be able to tell the origin and close age of the barrel. Many rifles kept the original barrel as the 7x57 does not wear a barrel very fast. You can buy prechambered barrels from Douglas, or Shilen but you will need a smith to mount it for you. Also, if that is the original barrel it can often take some real serious equipment to get them out of the action if they have never been taken apart before. [/QUOTE]
