[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 889117, member: 12995"] I have no problems doing it. As a matter of fact, I'm fixing to build 2 custom rifles using take-off factory barrels. My smith charges me $150 to true the action, true the barrel's shoulder, and reset the headspacing. $100 shipped for a take-off barrel, and $150 for truing and headspacing isn't a bad investment when the rest of the parts for your custom build are already there, bought, and paid for. I've rebarreled with factory barrels several times now, and if the smith does his job, and if the barrels is a good barrel, then you should be driving tacks for less than the price of a custom barrel blank before any work done. Then again, with a custom barrel, you have a much higher percentage of it being a good barrel, and you getting more accuracy. So, there's always pros and cons to either direction you head. [/QUOTE]
