Just plain common sense tonight Randy! Excellent video.

You have the patients of a saint to answer some of these questions and requests!!!

I had an old Remington 722 in 300 Savage rebored & rechambered to 358 Winchester. Had the barrel cut back to 22” & recrowned. Excellent shooter.

It seems much cheaper to replace the barrel with the appropriate one for your intentions, excellent information Mr. Selby.

Hey Randy sir I pray you and your wife are doing great Amen 🙏

Randy, Listening between the lines, I get the impression you spend a considerable amount of time dealing with folks who know it all… My dad ran a body shop years ago and everything you talked about with rifles, I remember him saying much the same about cars; I guess all businesses have similar customer types. Take care and be well!

The process works good on rifles that are expensive to rebarrel, rifles with odd contours and odd finishes.Old lever guns, rifles with iron plated stainless barrels or machined integral sight ribs are good candidates. Just remember that you won't be able to chamber a cartridge that is radically different from the current chambering, the feed mechanism and barrel contour dictate the limitations.

i had a 510 remington 22 lr rechambered to a 22 WMR had it done 25 years ago shows no pressure issues. it is 1/2 moa shooter , also had a 510 rebarreled to 17 HMR

You did not mention the extra work in re cutting and making a new extactor, as you say, too many people think it is all very simple! Chris B.

Good job Kathy. Im sure you keep Randy's blood pressure down. Great content all the time. Bravo to the both of you.

everything you said makes perfect sense

Yall have a blessed day sir I’d sure like to meet you but i can’t travel much anymore on account of my lower back and hip. Have a great blessed day you and your wife GOD BLESS

I would probably just opt for a new barrel. Although it is funny how a person can develop an attachment to a barrel. My 22/250 was shot out & it took months for me to accept it. I kept saying, “oh no, I will get it shooting tight again, I just need to re-work the load” Finally I had a fresh barrel put on & then I said, “oh that barrel will never be as good as the old one” well guess what ? It’s even better. A good barrel is like an old reliable hound. You just can’t bear to part with em.

Thank you so much for continuing to share your knowledge

I had a 8 X 57 that was oversize but shot good . I shot lead slugs first with valve grinding compound . I followed that with bore polishing compound . These were shot with a few grains of unique powder . I ended up with a 330 bore & was able to shoot 338 lead slugs.

Think some of those people looked up the wrong number. Wanted the unreal gunsmith not the real. Thanks for the insight.

Interesting stuff.

Randy sir you know some people have to use their fingers and toes to count with it is what it is. But I’d love to know what you have forgotten GOD BLESS

Was hoping this was a demonstration video.

I’ve not been talking to people much on Facebook I had open heart surgery triple bypass back in October the 10th and I still ain’t got my strength back I probably won’t from now on. I set and loaded counting the pistol rounds over a 1000 rounds everything from my 9mm up to my 300 Winchester magnum rifle. That was before the bypass surgery. I’ve loaded a few 243 rounds just to have something to do. I’ve got enough ammo I shouldn’t need anymore the rest of my life. I don’t shoot that much anymore to so I’m set up now. Some people just can’t handle the process it takes to load up rounds or work on guns.

Randy, .223 Remington ,VLS ,1996 ish. What calibers can be made from this ,safely. God bless from N.C. 🌲 🙏 👍

Imagine how many good shooting rifles have been ruined over the years with someone trying all these different things and failing miserably. Have mercy!

Thx again randy! How’s the weather now? Mom says it’s warming up over there.

Hi there, can I go from 6.5 284 to 308 without any issues. appreciated

Thanks for the information. It may sound unusual but could you therefore re-bore, re-rifle, and re-chamber a .243 to .303 British?. Based on your video I assume this is possible. The rifle in question is a single shot break barrel gun.

Randy sir I wish I knew what you have forgot

Thanks for the education! Sounds like it would be much more cost-effective to just have a new barrel put on. Question... I have a brand new rifle in 6.5 creedmoor. Is it possible to chamber it to the 260 Remington??

Can you rechamber a single shot rifle that has a bull barrel that is in 243 Winchester to a 7mm-08 or .308 Winchester? How much would that cost approximately?

Hi ,Should you remove all copper from your barrel. Some say that the copper doesn't keep building up after a couple of shots. I would like your thoughts on it please.

Good afternoon, I Have a Thompson Dimension ( which they discontinued) but have numerous extra barrels and I’m looking to use the 270 barrel to possibly making a 338 winMag . Is this possible or can a new barrel be made?.

Great show 👍 Love this content. I cant learn enough on this topic . I just want all the information you wana put out here. Im like a sponge 🧽😂. Thank you

What would be a good rechambering of 284win? I dont want to reload. The next size up?

Randy, do you have the means for reboring barrels? I have one that I would like to have done. Thank you for your attention

whats the point of rerifling if its not the same caliber? what is that sleeve thing thay do?

Can you re bore my 22 mag to a 30-06

It's easier to just buy a different rifle. Thanks randy

Any ways it is way cheaper to purchase a new barrel and have it fit by a competent gunsmith. You are much more likely to get the outcome you desire and have more money in your pocket. It only makes sense to rebore, rechamber and re-rifle if it is a collectable and it's value would be grossly diminished by a modern rebarrel. I looked into the idea of a rebore, rechamber, re-rifle 20 years ago and they would not do military barrels, barrels with high nickel content and a long list of other things. It made no sense to me at that point!

Want a different caliber buy an action and barrel and have it assembled.

Randy most men today are just ignorant to how anything mechanical, electrical or electronic works. They have never run a lathe or mill or welded or built an electronic device from scratch, or repaired a car etc.....Just have no understanding of anything! It is sad.

not entirely unusual to do so on drillings. 22 savage to 7x57R is most common there. on bolt actions of various kinds, a new quality barrel is probably smarter, unless the profile of the barrel is very important for some reason or there is value in the rifle like a holland&holland, cheap remingtons or similar scrap metal, not sure if the job is worth it

It’s a shame that people have to be talked down to because they don’t understand elementary machining concepts.

Why are you so angry Mr. Selby?

People seem to ask a lot of stupid questions, because these days, hardly anybody has what's called common sense. Many get their false ideas from the stupid misinformation of the internet.

Sounds like boring out an engine.

I bet you get a lot of silly questions

Dam i was his biggest fan. If i knew what he does about gunsmithing i wouldnt have to ask. So now if i want a custom rifle i will call someone who doesnt mind me asking questions. I'll give someone else my money. Unscribed.
