Would someone know of a gunsmith who could rebore a .30-30 Win barrel to .32 Special? I checked JES and the smallest land/groove size they show is .330/338. I've a Rem. 788 and would like to try a .32 barrel with the slow twist rate.

Instead of reboring, why not do a "switch-barrel" and keep your old .30-30 barrel?
Cost shouldn't be much different and then you can convert back if you want or add more calibers down the road.
The ENEMY is listening.
HE wants to know what YOU know.
Keep it to yourself.
30-30 and 32 special are so close together in bore diameter that it would be a matter of deepening the existing rifling rather than a rebore I would guess.

I will be keeping the existing .30-30 barrel and reboring/rechambering a takeoff barrel I'm hoping to obtain at a reasonable price. Skipper; thanks for the heads up on Oregon Gunsmithing.
