Boring a barrel to larger caliber
« on: March 23, 2022, 06:18:38 AM »
Can anyone recommend someone to whom I could send an existing barrel to have it bored out to a larger caliber?

Lone Wolf,       Ed Rayl has bored out two barrels for me that I can remember.  He is very careful not too over bore. He has done both rifled and smooth for me.   You may find him on the ALR site or internet under mlbarrels. He lives in W. Virginia.   HIB
