Browning BAR .338WM Belgium needs barrel

[Puma]

I have an older BAR that I picked up in a trade.

The receiver/barrel has been Teflon coated, and the wood looks good.

The bore is rough and it looks like someone shortened the barrel a couple inches.

Is this worth finding someone to re-barrel, if it can even be done, or should I just part it out?

Anyone know someone who could do it?

Magnum BARs have a tendency to walk shots after awhile due to uneven forend pressure, is this what it's doing?

It seems to shoot OK, I took a dozen shots at 100 yards and they were acceptable.Its scoped now and the original sights were removed.

The bore is pitted, and the barrel was shortened by "Bubba".

I think a new barrel would enhance the value to me as a shooter.

Does anyone know who could do the job?
