That is why I would want to rebarrel a real original PU sniper with a ex PU sniper barrel. Sniper part replacement to a real sniper rifle.

However, gun smith talent found to do a rebarrel is to date : zero.

I will take ex PU and restore it to PU status as US gunsmiths can still drill a hole and tap it, install a scope mount. I can get a Ex PU up and running
with correct WWII Sovieticon base, mount and scope. It won't be "Original" but it will be restored to "correct in parts" like a "CMPicon CORRECT GRADE M1icon Rifle".

Since I own the ex PU with bright bore already, can't use it just to rebarrel my real PU sniper, just use the EX PU and use it as a restoration.
