Relining the old barrels is a big mistake. I don't think any proof house in Europe will even proof a rifle with barrel liners.
Resleeving the chambers is done all the time and if the job is done properly than it's virtually undetectable with the naked eye.
Replacing the barrels with a mono bloc, and having it done here and not reproofed is foolish IMO. Emory would have 18-20k invested in a rifle that could only be sold for 6-7k.
He would be much better served to have the barrels replaced to original, reproofed and move on. The cost would be more but the return would be much more also.
