sent it off to have it cut down and turned down and fluted. The smith I use is so affordable that this was a cheaper option than a re-barrel believe it or not. He has built many rifles for me and suggested it. After buying a barrel, threading , chambering,crowning ,installing sights and refinish I was money ahead using the existing barrel. I don't need it to shoot sub MOA at 500 yards, I just need to carry it through the brush without breaking my back.
