[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 1714540, member: 24284"] I recently re-chambered a modern made Sharps rifle, from .45-70 to .45-110. This could not be done by hand, so the barrel needed to be removed. It was torqued on very tight. I worried I might crack the action. With a bit of thought I was able to safely remove the barrel and then re-install it after the re-chambering. An octagon barrel that had to be timed perfectly, for looks and for the open sights. Not a mark on it. You'd never know I had been there, except for the .45-70 now being a .45-110. And today I am at the machine shop removing the bucket from a Komatsu 200 for pins, bushings, and welding up holes that don't take a bushing, and line boring them to size for proper pin fit. [/QUOTE]
