Hi Guys,
I recently tried to get my old 1894 shooting again. I was unable to get any bullet to stabilize at all. I went as high as .380 for bullets (I was unable to chamber anything bigger) and I shot beautiful keyholes at 25 yards.
The simple fact is the barrel has no rifling left in it. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do? I would love to hunt with the rifle again but at the moment its looking more like a treasured wall hanger.

Could always have it relined and continue to enjoy your favorite rifle!

we have used redman's rifeling and reboring for several years now,there in omak WA.they do a good job but are a bit slow with turn around,but i highly recomend them.
