Thanks all for your advice, the estimates came back from AHR and were too steep for my blood this year (kid expenses, college, etc.) so I'm back to the original plan of waiting until next winter to rebarrel. If I decide I really want a 500 Jeffery, it would be cheaper probably to sell my 375 and buy one, as opposed to a Capstick being a relatively easy conversion (rebarrel with a heavier contour, a little work on the ramp/rails. But I guess we'll put that one off until December ... sigh ...

Regards,
Chuck
