[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 1018509, member: 5219"] I thought I'd ask why you want to rebarrel when money is a concern. What is the current barrel not doing ? It is rare to wear out a barrel in this chambering. There might be some things you can do to make the current barrel perform to your satisfaction instead of rebarreling. There is a very inexpensive way to rebarrel. Buy a Remington takeoff with the same profile in the chambering of your choice. In many instances the headspace will be fine. If not a competent gunsmith can easily adjust it. My friend and I are exchanging Rem barrels often and many are headspaced perfectly. Another common way to utilize a Rem takeoff is to have it chambered with an improved version or a chambering that is slightly larger which will clean up the existing chamber. This will get it headspaced as well. My local gunsmith used to install, setback and chamber including indexing for under $200 including the cost of the takeoff barrel. [/QUOTE]
