[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 1500315, member: 27307"] There are a couple of threads here which address this subject of re-chambering with some very astute observations. It can go both ways with like/dislike. Mostly the gunsmiths dislike it because of the potential damage which can occur to a very expensive reamer from existing carbon and fouling. The other drawback is the length of the tenon which is left from the factory threading. Most will advocate that the barrel be set back in order to get enough new metal for the new throat and freebore. There isn't a lot of breech length metal to grab onto for machining. It can be done but it's a nuisance. Here is a link to a list of Wisconsin gunsmiths: [URL]https://www.usacarry.com/directory/category/gunsmiths/wisconsin-gunsmiths/[/URL] Call some of the ones in your area to see if they can help you. Regards. [/QUOTE]
