Try Clearwater/Delta. They bought out Cliff LaBounty's shop when he retired.

There are lots of smiths that do rebores, I've used JES and Oregunsmithing. JES does .35 and up, Wayne at Oregunsmithing does up to .50, he also does liners which may be what the original owner had in mind when he did the .425" bore.

The barrel is .700 at muzzle , to small for a .50 also the barrel is 30" Redmans don't do 30" ! My mistake I should have added that info .
Brownells directed me to track of the wolf for any length I desire ? But Thanks to the homeland security they no longer carry liners .
I will contact the URL's you fellows posted . Thanks for the help very much appreciated !

I suppose it depends on barrel steel, but Wayne at Oregunsmithing has done a 50AK on an H&R BC Carbine with a .700" muzzle, but it has a 4140 alloy barrel.

This is news to me, could someone elaborate on this matter?

Looks to me like they're available, just not for export.

They carry liners and ship to any of the 50 states but due to the added expense and permitting by DHS they no longer can afford to export from the USA.


Speer, Sierra, Lyman, Hornady, Hodgdon have reliable reloading data. You won't find it on so and so's web page.

Track of the Wolf liners are manufactured by T.J.'s liners. They are available direct from T.J.'s for more than a dollar an inch less than TOTW's price.

T.J.'s does not have a web page, but can be reached by phone at (859) 635-5560. Good folks to deal with and a quality product. Don't waste your money on Redman's liners.

He is in his seventies...

I'm a little late to this party, but I want to point out that TJ makes these liners in very long lengths, like about 8 feet, and cuts them to length. So I am sure that he can handle a 30" liner.
