Reboring a Barrel to 50-70

[Mike]

Flash Pan, I agree with Lumpy. One reason why is that your .40/65 barrel might be on the light side, considering external barrel dimensions, for a .50 caliber. Getting a new barrel also gives you the option of changing it back to a .40/65 if you ever want to. You'll end up needing that new barrel, a new extractor, and more than likely a new forearm for the rifle. Probably new sights too. Yes, that sounds like at least half of a new rifle... Maybe getting another rifle, in .50/70, isn't a bad idea. Shoot sharp, Mike
