Home Forums Lever Action Central Big Bore Levers Rebarreling a Remlin

Surprise surprise, when i got this it was new in the box.



they seem to have acounted for it at the factory



close up of bulge in tube



cutting away factory threads and resurface receiver face
there are two tight fitting guides in place to keep all the cutting perpendicular to the bore the bolt slides back and forth in.



recutting larger diameter threads
guided by the same bore guides



New threads and face squared
You can still see remnants of the gouges that were in the face from the factory due to installing the barrel without lube.
The lower edge is cut just a smidge deeper than the top showing the out of square aspect of the receiver .



tenon difference



fitted to dummy barrel



Marlin Bulge

Im a little tired and Cranky, think I'll fit and chamber the barrel ?? tomorrow maybe ?
