Stevens 219 rebarrel?

[adk hunter]

I have a Stevens 219 break action .30-30 I would like to get rebarreled. It is a truck gun now with a fair amount of nostalgia. Anyone who has done this or can recommend someone? Thanks in advance! Joe

Another look? Buler...?

Check with JES reboring. Perhaps a 35-30.

Ahh! Thats something I hadn't thought of...My thing is someone cut off the barrel and it is pretty short. The action seems quite sound or strong enough for something with more zip. Was thinking of a .257 roberts or even a .250-3000. Hmmm. Thanks for the idea.

That action wouldn't be safe with .257 Roberts or 250-3000. The cost to re-barrel that thing would far out weigh what the gun is worth.

Understand. Thank you shortgrass. Made a great living mowing the greens "shortgrass" lol .100 or less was standard.

I have pushed a Sav 219 in 30-30 to 92,000 psi in an overload work up 10 years ago.
I have also done a stress analysis on a similar break action and find them to be stronger than the basic bolt action; 98 Mauser, Win 70, Rem700, Sav 110, etc.
