One thing is for sure: it's not going back to Rossi. Like I said in a previous post, it already went back for a new barrel because the original was bent (shot 3 feet left at 100). It took them months to decide to just send me a new gun. The new gun has a [somewhat] straight barrel but now the bore diameter problem. The only thing I'd accomplish by sending it back would to be without a gun for several months. I am confident that whatever I get back from Rossi will either be as bad or worse than what I have now. At least the current gun has a good finish and smooth action.
What I need is a source for an aftermarket barrel without having a smith cut one from scratch.
