Does anyone know anyone in Washington or Oregon that does barrel re-boring? If so, who? Has anyone ever had this done and what kind of accuracy did you have with the rebored barrel.

thanks.

LaBounty Precision Reboring, Maple Falls WA 360-599-2047; Redman's Rifling & Reboring, Omak WA, 509-826-5512.

I think there are others in WA or OR. Check the Reboring & Rerifling section of your Gun Digest - there's quite a list of such places in the U.S.


I've had two barrels rebored-on from .33 Win. to .45/70 and one from .348 Win. to .450 Alaskan. Had never shot the .33, but it was in bad shaope. The .450 AK shot better AFTER it ewas rebored. Both of mine were done by the old A&M Rifle Co., of Prescott AZ, and were beautifully done. The .45/70 shot well also.
Good luck.

I'm getting ready to ship one to Jim Dubell at Delta Gun Shop. Here's a link to his site:

Dubell

Cliff Labounty is no longer doing reboring. He's got a large government contract that's taking all of his time. When I called Mr. Labounty last year, he recommended Dan Pedersen. Mr. Pedersen's web site is www.cutrifle.com. I had Mr. Pedersen rebore a .22 Hornet Browning Lo-Wall to .32 H&R. Although I just got the gun back last week and am still doing testing, the preliminary results were quite satisfactory. Cost was $265 plus shipping both ways.

Cliff LaBounty's business along with the business name has been sold to Jim Dubell that is mentioned above. Jim has been trained by Cliff and now has all his machines in his shop in Eastern Washington.

Thanks everyone. I knew Mr. LaBounty was not doing reboring any longer...
I wasn't aware of Jim Dubell's shop.

Thanks again.
