Taking from the top... Pardon my P17 slang. Common misnomer as quick reference . / $250 for "simple rebore... Fine! What about barrel removal, chambering, reinstallation & headspacing? No inference I noted of owner-project or such capabilities. Seemed to me something of minimally $500-$600 project OTD for commercial gunsmithing/reboring services. / Seems to me gains made by 9.3 rechambering being compromised by shorter barrel. My impression and as noted above, minimal positive trade off from 30-06 to begin. / As noted, no pix and as my intro comment, working from "generalities". Vision may be different with good illustrations! Mine here: old Enfield sporter in 'plastic' stock... Pure utility rifle. My "generalizations" based on such concept. Re owner-personal view/preferences, firm ""go for it! / Objectively, my opinion that connoisseurs favoring the 9.3x62, unlikely to be impressed as packaged in the Enfield as described. Net negative investment. / The "pre '64 Model 70 Winchester with over half million production in its years! Plain vanilla Standard Rifle in such as 30-06, not just the most common sub-model; more than a half century later, more "non-original" specimens than original! Simple post-factory alterations such as recoil pad installation or D&T scope holes added to earlier vintage... Instant, "Non original". Many such specimens far more common than "original & correct. Perhaps $600-$800 for such non-original pre '64 rifle. Yet, as strict original standards often a "N/A", in true "Rifleman's Rifle" context. / Prior photo size... conjured as quick illustration, not to dominate.
Very interesting Thread & if appropriate... Pardon "calling ;em I see ;em."!
Best & Stay Safe
