Worst case I'll just retire it... since it's a G29/40 with an original Radom barrel matched to the gun I think I'd rather just have it as it sits, along with the personal history of it. I do have a spare barrel somewhere though if I really want to try re-barreling it but no idea where it got to. To satisfy my curiosity I may acquire or borrow a Hornady OAL gauge... now this is not a replacement for a throat erosion gauge (don't know of any for Mausers) but I really want to see how it sits versus my M24/47 and Greek. May not tell me much if it's the same or off by a little but if it's way off it'll be a sure fire sign this barrel is cooked.
