Thread: What to do with .22 BRNO barrel?

Hi all,

The barrel on my 2E has a 2" section of corrosion 3-4 inches forward of chamber. I can't get the rifle to group at all (tried several different brands of ammo, scope and rings are tight) after 3 decades of accurate shooting. Two questions: Would this corrosion cause the inaccuracy (pretty sure I know the answer to this but would absolutely love to be wrong) and secondly: can the rifle be rebarrelled? I have a great deal of attachment to this rifle so cost isn't necessarily a barrier to repair.

Thanks in advance to any helpful replies.
