cooperjdcustom barrel really dumb question
Ok folks,
i have zero knowledge about how to cut/chamber a barrel, hence the most likely really dumb question to follow

....
OK, i have a t/c dimension (the changeable barrel bolt rifle); and i'd love a .260rem barrel.
t/c no longer has a custom shop and cannot make me a custom barrel for it.
is there a way to buy a smaller barrel (.22-250 for example), and have it recut to a .260rem? i realize a barrel rifled for a specific caliber may be rechambered, but a complete barrel, idk if i can make it a totally different caliber/chamber.
thank you

ramrod340Provided there is enough metal on the smaller barrel rifle barrels are rebored all the time.
http://www.cutrifle.com/reboring.htmlCan they do a Dimensions barrel I have no clue.
Do a search here on AR for reboring and you will find a number of quality shops that do reboring. Then simply ask.

cooperjdthank you, i'll check out some places/prices and see if its worth having it done or just buying another rifle.

ramrod340If my memory is working at all the Dimension bolt locks into the barrel. Right???
If that is the case then I would think 243 as the parent barrel. Then you don't need to rechamber simply rebore.
But listen to the experts (not me)
