Re ream and rifle a barrel company?

[Cloudrepair]

I have been looking and searched for them but can't seem to find.
Does anyone know who does this I have a couple barrels that I would like to have them redone to a bigger caliber?
They are 25 caliber that seem to tight and would like to have them made in to 6.5 caliber.

There are a few guys that do it, Most of them are doing lever gun stuff. It's probably cheaper to just buy a barrel.

Butch, I don't think JES does anything smaller than .338 these days. Not sure Cloudrepair, but you may want to check his website - I could be wrong on this.

Thanks you guys
I will be checking them out

Years ago I contacted the late Jim Dubell (spelling) owner of Clearwater Reboring about reboring a .25 cal to .264 cal and he said he couldn’t do it. Calibers too close in size for drilling, could do .270 and larger.

Thanks I may have to go with a 7mm or 30 caliber

I have a complete rifling/reboring shop that you can buy if you're interested in having a new business...

Was just wondering...A lot goes into making barrels that doesn't meet the eye and working with unknown values of the steel and heat treat, I think it may be fraught with unseen perils. Maybe not as much with a cut rifle barrel but a buttoned bbl, for sure is very dependent on knowing these things in order to know what the reamed hole needs to be before you ever attempt pulling a button through it. Likely very doable for hunting guns or collectables but I'm not sure how the finished product would stack up against a well made from scratch blank for a comp rifle. Not sure how much bigger you'd need to go over the original bore to get rid of the compression of the steel, particularly on a buttoned barrel. I've always heard about stolen vehicles that had numbers ground off of the frame etc, still being readable by x ray or whatever the fbi uses in those cases.

Yes it is unlikely I will be able to do anything with these when I may be able to get a top of the line blank for not much more .
I didn't think about the stress put into these.

I'm certainly not saying it can't be done, just that there's more to consider than may meet the eye is all. Frankly, I don't know for sure and should probably just leave it at that. If it was as good as it sounds, it's hard to believe it's not done more often, too.

Like mentioned above, appears it may cost just as much as a premium blank.

@Cloudrepair I’m just curious how you determined they were too tight?

If that method is verifiable, I’d like to know (in private) who made those barrels so I never buy one.

Is that where my Pendleton whiskey came from?

Butch,
It is my personal favorite as well! Yes, it is made in the little Eastern Oregon town of Pendleton.
