What caliber? I may have reamer(s)and gauges if needed.
The only true cost of having a dog is its death.

I've watched several DIY videos and I hate to admit it but it's a little beyond what I'm comfortable tackling myself. I would need to purchase several tools (barrel wrench, action vise, ect) for it that would just gather dust after the project completion also. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/gallery/80/full/163833.jpg)

I think there is a smith @ Gahms but if there is , know nothing about him. Don’t know any to reco since Aaron and Cliffy quit.

Send it outside if you want it done well. Many, MANY, great smith's and shops in the lower 48.
Because through judicious handloading and a bold sense of optimism, you can make anything into an .88 Magnum - once! 😁 - chesterpulley

Aaron lost my buddies marlin 45-70. He made up excuses for a year. When he finally got pisted enough to demand it back he couldn't find it.
