Guys As you can see from my other post I picked up a M48A but the barrel has pitting the whole length in the lands. They don't look real deep but I plan on putting a scope on it do you think I should replace the barrel?
There a gunsmith in Maine that works on mauser that said he would put another mauser barrel he has with a clean bore,drill and tap for mounts, bend the bolt all for $250 + shipping.
I wanted to put a gunsmith free type mount but the one I was looking at I think the company closed. I have not heard back from the # that I called the mount that didn't need gunsmith to install was $122 with rings so for a extra $128 and shipping I could have a newer clean barrel and tapped for a scope and bolt turned down.
What do you guys think?
