Re: Visited the American Precision Museum (pic heavy)

Thanks for the tour! What a cool place to spend time in. The lock inletting machine looks like a real Rub Goldburg machine. They where great mechanics in those days.

Re: Convert 1895 in .30-'06 to .35 Whelen

Yes, he remarked the caliber on the rebored barrel. With also his initals on the top of the barrel were it is threaded into the receiver.

I thought rebore would be less costly than a rebarrel.
I think the cost is $225.00 shipping included for the rebore.

I have had JES rebore a couple of my Marlin 336s. One to 38/55 and another to 444 Marlin. Did a nice job, reasonable and quick turn around time. Rifles both are very accurate. I went with the 3 groove. I would like to do the rebore for 35 Whelen also but I will have to wait for a deal on a 95.
