re boring barrels

You bought a Lever Broomhandle too? Mine is like a Frosted Mini Wheat. Sweet on the outside, crusty on the inside. How many mixed numbers do you have?

I'll settle for a 7.65 rebore to preserve the original cartridge, but 9mm is 1000x more available than the little bottlenecked Mauser cartridge.

(Paul Rogan asked for feedback on barrel liner in the Jan Access to Firearms. Has anyone seen the responses?)
 
Had the chamber of my Alexander Henry sleeved and rechamber by M&S Stocking in Leader Sask. He also sleeves barrels I believe but you have to be patient. My job took two years....Bob
 
So far I am zero for three with questions to barrel makers and barrel reliners. Their advice is either rebarrel with a stub sleeved into the existing threaded shrank, or forget it and look for a better condition gun. The trouble is the pistol barrel is too short for their machinery, or they don't have tooling in 7.65 or 9mm because these are not rifle calibres.

Yes, but if you want something done right, Cary is the man to go to.
 
Kevin, I’m sorry to say But on inspection of your 96 that relining is out of the question at least for any reasonable amount of money
The pitting is so bad that for the amount of material that would have to be taken out to get a mechanically clean surface to even attempt to solder in a liner would be dangerously thin
Sorry Bud
 
The best fix for a shoor C-96 is to cut off the original barrel and thread the stub for a Luger replacement barrel--this used to be quite common at one time in the us.
