    new barrel, you could get it profiled the same as original.

    stock, will it clean up? does it need cleaning up?

    buy a new one to scratch your itch and put a new barrel on old faithful

    Screw a new stainless barrel on it, good for another few decades! Keep the stock original, keep the memories intact 😊

    got a mate who is on his 5th barrel on his ruger, he loves the gun and thats that.
    stick a new pipe on it, then in 3 months replace the stock, so you are used to the barrel, think of it like getting a bypass then having a hip replaced.
    it will cost about the same

    Does anyone know if there is a way of getting a pic of the inside of the barrel??

    The rifle still shoots straight . I can put two shots on a thumb nail at 100m while the barrel is cold . but the looking inside the barrel scares me.
    It all started from 3 weeks in Fiordland without a cleaning kit. and then leaving it with a mate while I spent 4 years overseas...
    Think I might keep the stock. its fine apart from it looks like its floated down a river for a week.
    I still cant seem to put pics up. Will keep trying

    Nah they're cool. If it shoots well don't worry about it!!!

    It's like putting a borescope down your rifle, never ever do it unless there's a problem, you'll just upset yourself.


    Just upload pics to imgur
