    Armourers would swap parts in and out so no biggee for you doing the same IMHO. If you are not that bothered about being that correct what about an after market barrel?

    No, an after market barrel would be over the top for me. I believe the barrel is fine, it's just not as clean as I'd like. Rifling is strong and muzzle wear is not excessive.
