[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 1445636, member: 27307"] If this is a button rifled barrel which Pac-Nor is, no matter what the contour is, I don't recommend any contouring at all. Button rifling adds an enormous amount of stress to the finished barrel. Contouring after rifling unloads some of the stress and the barrel can warp or change shape. Sell this one as is since you need to get another contour and be happy when the new barrel arrives and you don't have to do any more work except thread, chamber and crown. Enjoy the process! Regards.
