Silly question gents?
Could tact1 get his original barrel set back say 1 or 2 threads & recambered back to 8x56MS again?
It would save to original rifle per say & be in an original MS calibre - may even fix the rotor/feed issue as these are specific.

Makes good sense to me.

Perhaps the 'mutt' (which any of us would gladly adopt, I'm sure), could become a thoroughbred again?

I'd still favor the idea of having the original barrel bored, sleeved, and chambered to the original 6.5X54 if it were mine.

It would be like relining the cylinders of a Duesenberg with its original engine that had been overbored for oversize pistons. After the reline, you're back to the original piston, or in this case cartridge, size.
