Need rifle barrel counterbored

[rumrunner55]

So, if that rifle barrel's bore is worn and its rifling eaten-away with corrosion or worn thin from use or improper cleaning.... you think a gunsmith can grind down the bore and get more good rifling from somewhere, hidden in the steel?

Sounds like what that rifle needs is a new barrel.

Or, if you have a gazillion dollars to spend, the old barrel could be sent to a custom barrel making factory to be drilled out and rechambered and re-rifled to a LARGER caliber, so you'll have to buy or start reloading some different ammo.

Counter boring is extremely common in surplus military firearms where the rifling at the muzzle is drilled out allowing a “clean” muzzle most commonly seen in mosins can look up pics , but OP you’re definitely gonna spend way more money than what a barrel is even worth just to do this

Oh I'm sure he's got a hand drill laying around. I mean doesn't sound like he can make it less accurate.
