Quote History Quoted:
There a pitted-up bore but otherwise OK Vickers (Martini action) match rifle there. I was thinking of looking into what it would cost to reline it.
I know I could get the rifle cheap but after the cuss-fest I had with getting the BSA up to snuff I'm going to cool my jets for a while.

Dang, for $150 I would have been all over that even if the bore was rusty. You can always sleeve a bad bore.

Brownells sells Redman liners and drill bits. The bit is the big cost - 8mm turned down to a .221 pilot. And you need to braze an extension onto it. Then chamber reamers.
If you are looking at doing more than one, it's worth it. I've had a scheme to re-line shot out AR barrels to .22 for dedicated builds. But I wouldn't be opposed to starting on an older action.
