The rifle gods are punishing you for selecting a 6.5 Creedmore.

You betcha! If you mail it then the USPS can get involved,,,,wait,,,the USPS doesn't do anything anyway!

That's not entirely true.
They go through tax payer money faster than a 6.5 bullet through that barrel.

Check's in the mail.

Think education is expensive????? Try ignorance!! I’ve paid my fair share for sure. Just waiting for the government to help me with your check.

 

[Redmt]

Sorry to hear all that, Paul should be able to fix it for you.

There's no fixing this barrel. Paul is going to replace it for me.

You WILL be happy. If you are not I will take that #1 off your hands.
When I got interested in .358 caliber I saw a lot of rifles on GB that York had re-bored. They all scared me. You story makes me very happy I went the @p_ham route.

If you decide a Stainless Laminate 22-250 would work, I'm thinking about selling it. It's a 50th anniversary Cabela's with the original box.

Don't do it

 

[homers]

Just get a new barrel from any of the reputable suppliers and have a decent smith install it.

I've kind of assumed re-boring a rifle had a fair chance of ending up shitty and inducing stresses into a blank but that bore is atrocious. Hope others can benefit from your lesson learned at least.

 

[Wind Gypsy]

No kidding. A friend of mine doesn't let a rifle leave his shop unless it shoots 1/2 MOA at 800 yards. He values his reputation above all else.

Hows he go about validating such a thing?

Big time guarantee. mtmuley

A fair chance? He bored it .020! The fk up was dragging a worn out rifling tool through it. After doing a little research on this guy, his work has turned to shit years ago. Maybe you might assume that a Daisy BB gun might not live but a Ruger Stainless Bull barrel would be expected to live through a .020 overbore unless it's done by an over the hill hack.

 

[FairWeather]

I’d been considering sending a barrel to him to be re-bored. After reading this, I think I’ll just sell it instead.

 

[BrentD]

No shit. Besides burning me for $640.00 I now have a worthless but pretty looking piece of pipe.

Abbott relined to forty five seventy and be done with it. What else will you possibly ever want anyway?

 

[Redmt]

Abbott religion forty five seventy and be done with it. What else will you possibly ever want anyway?

I'll make a correction, it was $690.00.

The threading tool needed to be sharpened. What you are seeing is galling in the finish.

Wayne York needs to be sharpened. He has gotten very dull over the years. The metal is actually torn in places. The best sections are only galled. After reading up on him there's many guys with the same ruined barrels in several different calibers. The hardest thing to admit is that your getting too old to be able to do what you used to be very good at. I guess the complaints started about 10 years ago and have been mounting ever since. Who knows how many barrels he has actually ruined.
