I have a M1895 (rifle, not carbine) in .30 US (.30-40 Krag) with a badly pitted barrel. All else in excellent shape. The pitting also extends into the neck and forward portion of the shoulder in the chamber (is this from corrosive primers/powder of late 19th century?). Any suggestions on how/where to have this barrel replaced?
