[scooterman27006]

man its great to have a bunch of been there done that fellas here - ok first i got a 223 that will shoot great even 2 of them however i want a 222 rem and i know the itch wont be scratched till i get one - ok ill tell this first - i will have a gunsmith to do it but let me ask this question with these things in mind - i have a 204 adl 700 that will not shoot and i have this 222 barrel that looks ok but the gunsmith has not seen it - the blue on it looks bad towards the chamber end of barrel and will have to be redone i know for fact - looks dont bother me if it shoots but i would like for it to look better plus the adl 700 action is the black non glare type and this barrel is not - its just blue - now tell me this can the gunsmith rechamber the 204 into a 222 rem and if so will it be almost as cheap ya think to do this-- if he can-- instead of putting this barrel on the 204 action or should i just change barrels and see how it shoots - what would you fellas do if you wanted a 222 with what i have to work with
