Hello all, I was wondering if there are methods to make a pistol barrel more accurate by some sort of machining. I have a 22 conversion kit which I like it's function, but not it's accuracy. Is there any way to make the barrel more accurate? If not, is it possible to bore out the current 22 bore, and have a high quality bore pressed in it's place? If this is possible, where could I find someone to do this type work.
I have a price limit of approx 250 dollars, because after that, I would just buy something else. The kit I am trying to modify is an Advantage Arms, 22 target kit for the 1911. The barrel is approx 5" long and the OD of the barrel is near .600. The kit is actually fairly well though out ( seems very similar to Bob Marvels design, and I think he was involved with AA at some point) but the accuracy is not "target" grade.
Any input would be great. Like I said, if I have to invest more that 250 to make this accurate, I would be better off just fining something more accurate to start with. Yes the project is part of the fun, which is why I haven't sold this and bought something else already.
Thank you for your thoughts
