You could also send your action to someone like PacNor and have them fit and chamber one of their barrels for ~$600 in SS. This includes lug lapping and action truing.

Places such as IT&D and ER Shaw will do it for much less.


I gave three choices here. I'd go with Pac-Nor myself.
There are many others in the PN price range too.


The Chosin Few November to December 1950, Korea.
I'm not one of the Chosin Few but no more remarkable group of Americans ever existed.
