Ok guys, going to do something scary but i wont learn it i dont do it....
Got an old CVA Blazer from 1987 and i just did a trigger job along with restoring the stock.. The bad part, The 28" barrel, the first 5 or so inches of barrel looks like it came out of the civil war, the rest is in really clean condition and very smooth. I am going to leave this as a round ball shooting inline due to the 1:48 twist.
How long should i leave the barrel? I was thinking about cutting it down to either 20 or 22"
This isnt a rifle that has any value to it so if i fudged up the barrel, GM makes barrel blanks.

Round about this area those short barrel jobs are called "truck" guns. Sorta like those short doublebarrel shotguns are "coach" guns.

handling on the rifle is beautiful. And the best over all, Shes Accurate too! 3 shots at 200 yards with 80gr 3F Jim Shockeys Gold, 295gr Powerbelt. A cheap BSA Classic scope helped me out! I still have to give it a crown as its a pain to load the plastic gas seal into the barrel. Kind of hate to touch it now that i know how well its shooting.
