Has anyone taken an old/burned out barrel and remachined it to a larger chamber & caliber to make it useful again? Is it even possible? Just curious.

Yes sir you betcha,
I sent a 26" Pac-Nor chambered for a 22/6mm Ackley that was toasted by just to many 3800fps 80 grain SMK's to-
Jim Dubell @ Delta Gun Shop,509) 684-5855...
He bought out Cliff LaBountys reboreing service.
Anyways he rebored it to a 10 twist 6mm and I left the chamber as it was and recut the neck to 6mm and it actually shoots better than the original.....
It is a little pricey but will give added life to a old favorite.......

interesting...
I was wondering if I could use my 22-250 barrel for something other than a 1" dia. SS tomato stake when it's toast.
It's going to be awhile, but it'll happen eventually.
