Is there any saving a barrel with an off axis chamber?

[QUOTE="tobnpr, post: 2820401, member: 68758"] I'm not clear on whether you have the machine, tooling and at least basic chambering knowledge to DIY- or if you need to hire a smith. Personally, I wouldn't take on a job like this but you might find someone that would. The risk/reward ratio is outta whack here and not worth the cost of hiring a smith. I would charge [I]more [/I]than a standard chambering job because it's harder to dial in a barrel that's already been chambered- particularly one with a chamber that's visually off-axis, and I'd tell you up front I couldn't guarantee the results. You didn't mention the contour, but if it's heavy enough- and long enough- that a couple of inches could be lopped off of the breech and essentially start from scratch it would be more tenable.
