I really think that is a disinformation answer. Of course you rechamber.... try and bore a .366 rifled bore up through a 309 diameter neck..... might not work.
The advantages to a rebore are numerous and well known by guys "back in the day".. Where do you think the 35-40 came from?
The metal stresses are already relieved. The sights are there. It is a LOT less expensive than a quality new barrel, the barrel is already blued. It is real cut rifling.It fits the existing stock.
It's the OP's money and his choice but there is no DISADVANTAGE to a quality rebore from a reputable maker. To think so is just wrong. Holland & Holland thinks Cliff LaBounty is good enough to rebore and reregulate double rifles costing 100s of thousands.... that's good enough for me!
