[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 1090886, member: 5219"] Yes you are right. Reboring is a way to re use a burned out barrel. It would be very cost effective with certain barrels like an old lever gun with iron sights or perhaps a custom barrel with several extra features like fluting, larger diameter or longer than usual. There are several outfits that offer this service. The cost may be prohibitive unless it is a barrel that would cost more than usual for a rebarrel job. I used Dan Pederson's shop [url]http://www.cutrifle.com/reboring.html[/url] to do this to a 7mm turning it into a 338. It was a 30" SS lilja and it was less expensive to rebore/rerifle than buying a new one. I have a fluted SS 28" 257 Weatherby barrel that is burned out. It would be a good candidate for reboring/rerifling. The cost would be far less than ordering a new barrel. Same for a #5 fluted SS 27" 300 RUM which would easily become a 338 edge. Never heard of trading back a burned out barrel as a core. [/QUOTE]
