Someone I know has a spring tube Winchester completely apart with a bad receiver. He found a receiver just a few numbers away from the bad one. The problem is the barrel will not index on the received and is about a 1/4 of an inch short of being lined up. He is trying to find someone who can take the inside of the receiver where it mates to the barrel down enough to install the barrel. He doesn't want to take the barrel down as that would mean having the skirt removed and this carbine is in the collector category.

So does anyone have any ideas how to do this????
