Pulled the barrel, barrel shoulder AND threads were way off centre. The outside of the barrel contour was also off the same amount as everything else, so the bore was also not in the centre of the barrel contour.
The action only required a little truing prior to fitting a new button rifled barrel.

Cheers.



Winchester was know for this seen one or two, you kinda wonder how that got past quality control
