[QUOTE="MtPockets, post: 2665128, member: 39651"] I'll start with a little background. I recently bought a used rifle from a private party. I was so excited to make the deal happen that I really didnt look it over when I picked it up. I had been told that the gun had been sent to McGowen for a barrel replacement. After I got it home, I noticed that there were no visible barrel markings. Because they had been in the ad, I hadnt bothered looking for them. I took the barreled action out of the stock, and sure enough the barrel had been spun on with the markings on the bottom. Is it plausible that McGowen would have done that? I would think they would have put it together with their name and the caliber visible, right? Can a guy spin the barrel off, turn it 180°, and reinstall it? Or should I just leave it alone and enjoy? Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
