Hey guys, we've got a rifle that appears to have some damaged rifling near the crown. I'm guessing it's been through some bad cleaning jobs with steel rods.

Anyway, from what gather the fix would probably be having a gunsmith lop off an inch of the barrel and getting it re-crowned.

Can anyone give me an approximation of the cost for something like this? $50 bucks, $200 bucks...?

I know this can vary, but just want a general idea before I talk to a gunsmith.

Thanks
