Hmm, your all giving me ideas for grandpas ol 17.

It has no sentimental and I doubt much, if any, collector value. The bore is pitted from old ammo and finish is even patina.

What's a source for a new barrel? Although I have a pretty good home shop, sounds like barrel replacement is beyond my tool/skill set.

Is it even worth it to have a gunsnith do the job, or just save my pennies for a 625?
