The next rifle awaiting a new barrel is a sporterized 1909 Argentine Mauser. That should be done this week.

All the best...

Just asking.
Could you have found a 1903 Springfield barrel in 30'06 caliber,to rechamber to 30/40 caliber?
It would not have to be rethreaded.
Did you want something other the 1 in 10 rifling?
