Quote HistoryQuoted: That is a great idea. I really never considered just buying a new barrel for a 60 year old rifle. When you find that big pile of new barrels for a .44 ruger or a .45 marlin, drop me a note please. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: OP, having read all the replies, I strongly suggest finding a new, correct-length barrel for your firearm. Doing so will retain original value, and avoid NFA complications, and so be more saleable in the future. Your OEM sights will work as intended, and you won't wind up with a NFA SBR that is a single-shot rifle, in dim light, due to blinding muzzle flash. Not to mention jiggering custom sights for the SBR. Good Luck! That is a great idea. I really never considered just buying a new barrel for a 60 year old rifle.

Just shoot it.
The bore obstruction didn't split the barrel, follow on shots are not going to do so. If it shoots like crap, then consider the other options. |
