I finally received my Ogris drilling today. Long story. Anyway, the rifle barrel was decativated in England by drilling 5 holes in it. See below. What's the best way to fix it? Tig the holes, bore it out and reline.
Bore it out, reline and then tig the holes.
Choice #3 ????

I'd send the drilling to JJ Paradeau at
http://www.champlinarms.com in Enid, Ok. he can cut the old barrel off just in front of the chamber, and counterbore it, and sleeve in a new barrel. Work on this type firearm is not cheap, but it isn't a saveings to do a plumber's job, and fix it half way! I don't know who made the drilling, or what kind of shape it is in! In the pictures the shot barrels seem to have lots of dents in them. This would indicate the gun has been abused some, and may not justify a proper fix! but if it is in good shape other than the damage some creten did to it's rifle barrel, it is worth spending some dollars to make it whole!
