Large shank barrel on a small shank gun??

[dlebeck]

I found a used barrel I want to buy but it's for a large shank savage and I want to put it on my model 10 small shank? The seller says he can re-thread the barrel for a small shank - is that even possible? is it a good idea? if it is possible should I just buy it and have my smith redo the threads?

It's an easy process.

Take the od down to the correct diameter, then re-thread.

have 3 that were done that way, but keep it a secret so the price on them stay low.
