As some of you may know my grandfather owns a Universal M1 Carbine and its seen military use. I cleaned it real well and oiled it for him a while back (during the summer) and I noticed today the crown is completely nonexistant. He never could get it to shoot to well, I don't believe. I'd like to get it back to shooting well, from what I see, the muzzle and maybe a half an inch down (3/4" at the most, will confirm in near future) is eroded. However the lands and grooves are shiny and well defined past that point. The way I see it is I have two options, 1) professional counterbore by a gunsmith 2) proffesional rebarrel by a gunsmith. Which would I be better off doing? The rebarrel would probably be best option but will be the most expensive. $150 for Sarco New production barrels, with work maybe $250 for rebarreling? Maybe $100 for counterbore? What's my best plan of action to get this rifle shooting again? Any help you can provide is appreciated. This would be a gift to my grandfather from me (and my dad).
Thanks,
