Recently picked up another Carcano sporter with a nicely done 1950's style walnut stock and a mauser magazine conversion. It's a Terni gun in 6.5 that was cut to 16". I would like to re-barrel it to 35 Remington, and am looking for a gunsmith that can source and fit an inexpensive barrel, including threading, profiling, and finish chambering. I have a Marlin 336 35R barrel and considered attempting to cut off the original Carcano barrel stub and buttress thread it for the Marlin barrel, but imagine that if this was outsourced the complication of the buttress thread, barrel timing, and head-spacing would cost more than just having it fitted with a new barrel. Not too keen on trying buttress threads on my Logan, either. The Carcano pitch is larger diameter than a standard Mauser thread pitch, so should be cut from an unturned blank, prolly.
Suggestions or contacts appreciated.
