I know there is a wealth of knowledge in this sub-forum so I thought I would see what you thought of this idea. I have quite a few of the older mk 85s that have barrels that are threaded into the receiver. I would like to change one out with a fast twist 45 caliber bull barrel 1" in diameter. I was thinking if I removed the old one first then I could sent it to whoever I buy a new barrel from so they could thread it and do whatever machining is necessary so it would fit the action just like the old one did.
I would like to do as much of the work myself as I possibly can. I have an extra laminated stock that I would remove enough stock from so it would accept the larger bull barrel.
Any suggestions would sure be appreciated. I am just gathering information for now as this would be a winter project.
Thanks a lot,
