I'm presuming the discoloration at the front is from heating to remove the barrel. Since no one mentions it, I assume you don't feel the action to be compromised.

Leave it as is, rebarrel it, and call it a truck gun. Varmints/predators/game won't know the difference, and you'll have save some time and coin.
I never thought I'd grow up to be a grumpy old man, but I did, and I'm killin' it.

I did a 1911 that was severely pitted....I filled the pits with spott puddy and covered with dura coat....first attempt with kg wouldn't hid the pits. It's too thin...dura coat is thick enough..

I think I said if he brought it into my shop that's what I would suggest.

Bead or sand blast then blue, that will hid scratches, file marks, and vise marks. Horse chit. Never used horse chit how does that work It's not as slick as bullshit. You get more of a matting effect.

It shouldn't be a problem though, I have a 257Wby I built on a free M70 someone had marked up by removing the barrel aith a pipe wrench. .
Heh... On some barrels/actions that's the only way.. Even with the barrel vise and blocks as tight as one can get, sometimes a barrel has to be anchored on the bench with a pipe wrench to keep 'em from pivoting when hitting the action wrench with a mall.. BTDT.. The M70 FWTs are the worst, usually..

Yeah, Rem barrels are another one that usually ends up that way.. They have nearly zero shank to grasp onto in a barrel vise.. Besides, most of these barrels are gonna be tossed anyway so the point is moot..
