The gunstore said the bore would not be up to target shooting. They said I could put a liner in it. I hesitate to mess with an original rifle but is this something that could make it shoot well and be an acceptable modification to an original since I would not be changing the caliber? He wants $1500 for it now.

That’s about two times the money I paid for one with a round target barrel in really good shape.
