Well, an appointment made to see Callum Ferguson @ https://www.precisionrifles.com
So this coming Saturday, a trip to the Highlands where he lives/works so he can check out my rifle properly.
A two day run with hotel booked near Dalwhinnie.

Discussed potential re-barrel with him and of course he's perfectly able to do it, but wants to see the rifle and know exactly how much 'plumbing' needs to be done .. .. i.e. what do I want.

I'm already aware that commercially it makes no sense to do this, but I do want my M1903 to 'shoot', so I'll find out exactly how hard my wallet is to be hit!

I'd like as much integrity to remain with the rifle as possible and also want to keep the original barrel as 'provenance' so if I can do this I'll be happy.
