[QUOTE="Revolting Peasant, post: 2155375, member: 101383"] Happiness is a worn out barrel! That is an achievement. I would say you got all the goody out of that barrel and probably learned a lot on the journey. It would be interesting to run a bore scope down that barrel. If you are still invested in this rifle relationship a new barrel will add a spark. Honestly I can’t think of ever replacing a barrel that did not result in improvement. Many of the better quality barrels are simply amazing. Only hard part is sometimes just getting the original factory nut loose. I use an electric paint strip heat gun on the nut. Then a healthy whack on a good quality barrel nut wrench with a heavy dead blow hammer. I also use a homemade barrel vise with oak inserts lined with lead strips and rosin. I go a little overkill but one and done every time so far. Opinions and methods vary. [/QUOTE]
