I think that's a great idea...too. After all it's your rifle and you want to shoot it.



I'm not sure about the safety of lining a full bore cartridge, do they do that? I know about smaller calibers like the pistol and .22...? Do they install barrel liners in .303?
I talked to Krieger about this tonight. Yes, he says a re-lined barrel is completely safe. The trick is to find someone with the ability and willingness to do the job. He said something about needing to see if that's "available" in .303 brit. (I don't know what that means exactly.) That is the best-case scenario for a collectible rifle with a sewer-pipe bore imo.
