So is 1,000,000,00 too much? I was feeling generous...I don't see anyway around not having a casting done. Of course... if you can't do it yourself that'll cost more than the rifle is worth and ruin the barrel anyway so... if I were you, I would just sell it for what you have into it and wash my hands of it.
Call me. I'll toss in an extra 50 for your trouble.
(Noicce find!)
I have a call into him. He's busy..Take it to a gunsmith and have them tell you what it's chambered in. It's also a good idea to get it inspected especially if little is known about the rifle. The only downside of taking it to a gunsmith is that you will likely buy another rifle you never knew you needed before you looked at their used stock.
If you are near Estacada then our own @Velzey (https://www.copelandgunworks.com/) does outstanding work.
Yes, The bolt matches the serial number (well last three numbers). Although it does not have the large external extractor that the one pictured above has.
It's likely then you can get Winchester to do a serial check and let you know exactly what it is.Yes, The bolt matches the serial number (well last three numbers). Although it does not have the large external extractor that the one pictured above has.
well, I'm not sure that will help, since IMO it has been re-barrelled, with what looks like a very nice one. Unfortunately, it is not marked, and I am too much of a chicken, or just not drunk enough to try to chamber a round LOL.It's likely then you can get Winchester to do a serial check and let you know exactly what it is.

I intend to. But yes the plunk test passed.Still have gunsmith confirm but:
Insert a bullet into the muzzle and see where it stops. If it stops at the ogive, then 30 cal.
Remove bolt and "Plunk Test" a round into the chamber (Mentioned above). If it drops right in then more than likely it is 30-06.
Might be overkill, but once you have verified the chambering perhaps have it laser engraved on the barrel to prevent confusion later? Was thinking of the same places that do NFA engraving.I intend to. But yes the plunk test passed.
