    Rebore/Ream... Who to send the barrel to?

    I want to ream a heavy .410 BBL out to .429 (maybe .428?). The barrel itself is easy enough to remove from the gun so that is all I would have to do.

    Stainless steel, nothing fancy, just a clean .429 Cylinder Bore.

    (Basicly giving .444 short range thump capability to a .410 Marlin Levergun Clone (which is really only a Marlin .444 reamed Smooth to .410))

    Thoughts?

    With all due respect trade it for a .444- Those modern Marlin .410 lever actions are so heavy they defeat the purpose of a shotgun. IMO. I have handled a model 36 Marlin .410 and it was light and lively as a shotgun should be. Best, Thomas. That said; JES can do what you want.
