Soooooo.....
I have this addiction......
I have several Stevens 325's and Savage 340's and Revelation 225's, and most are chambered in 30-30. What I am looking for, is a means to re-barrel, re-bore, or sleeve some of them, to calibers that suit my fancy. I am thinking of sending two of them to J E S Rifle Reboring, getting them made into 35-30 and 38-55. I would also like to have 1 in 32 special, and 22 hornet, but he doesn't bore smaller than .35 caliber, and I don't have a .224 bore barrel for the hornet.
I do have a complete action and bolt assembly for the hornet, so that one would be just a case of getting a barrel made, but I'm not sure whether I should have one of the 30-30 barrels sleeved, or start with a barrel blank, or start with a take-off barrel from a suitable donor rifle.
Oh, and the barrels on these rifles, even though they use a barrel nut, also use a cone breech, so that makes it even more fun!
So many questions!!
What are some of the ideas out there???
