I saw some writing not long ago, with which some of you may be intimately familiar, concerning the reboring of rifle barrels. I found that most interesting, as my TCR '83 Aristocrat .30-06 came with a spare .223 barrel having a rifling twist rate likely too slow for anything heavier than rodent bullets, and there are much better rifles for rodents. Another, earlier writing by the same author, discussing Kipplaufs, spoke of such a tilt-barrel single shot rifle chambered in 6.5x52R (.25-35 Winchester). Taken together, these writings suggested a fascinating means to make useful my neglected .223 barrel by making it into a .25-35 barrel instead. I've seen mention of separating the barrel from the monobloc in order to install a new barrel. But, I'm hoping that won't be necessary in order to accomplish reboring and rechambering.
Classic Barrel & Gunworks appears a good candidate for the job.
You all see any feasibility issues or drawbacks I'm not?
