[QUOTE="msalm, post: 1465874, member: 8863"] For all the naysayers on re-contouring a button rifled barrel, you do realize they are contoured after rifling by the manufacturer (and most often after a second heat/stress relief). If you choose to turn it down some more, it’s nothing that doesn’t happen anyway. Sure you might want to cast a lap and ensure the muzzle didn’t grow on you but that can be lapped back too. I’ve read all the cautionary tales of what might happen, but have never experienced any ill effects and only read of a few. The reality is the vast majority of recontoured barrels shoot just fine to as good as they did originally. [/QUOTE]
