[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1737522, member: 2736"] Most of the time, I have not found one with a good bore and chamber. If I find one with a good bore, the first thing I do is set it up in the lathe and set the shoulder back one thread if the chamber will clean up before it requires more than one thread. if the chamber doesn't clean up within one thread I use the barrel to make special projects. Remage barrels are a pig in a Polk and you don't know what you have until you fire it. I have the advantage of being able to do the work my self so I am only out a little time if the chamber doesn't clean up. It cost very little more to have a smith install a premium barrel and at least start with a better/more accurate barrel. (Less gamble). J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
