Well I just had the same thing happen to me that happened to stubshaft. I paid for & requested in writing for 5-groove rifling in 38-55, & when it showed up today from JES Reboring, it's a 3-groove & the grooves look shallow. I'm not a real happy camper right now. The gun is a near mint 94AE & This kind of surgery can't be corrected I don't believe. 06
Well I whipped up a load right quick for this 38-55 conversion & it does shoot well. It doesn't cycle too well, it has a few hang ups. The re-stamp that he did over the 30-30 to 38-55 is excellant workmanship. I really wanted that 5-groove rifling, but we all make mistakes now & again. I would send another to him, I can't complain about the quality of workmanship he has done. It does shoot well. When I kill something with it I'm sure all will be good!!!
Maybe a 375-08? Anybody have any knowledge about this one?
