Numrich’s has a lot of barrels to look at. I’m assuming this is a Garand takeoff…

I wonder how an ‘06 barrel would perform. I’d think with a fairly long, tapered throat, and a low pressure round, you would be more than safe shooting a slightly undersized bore. I wonder how the rifling twist would match up though. That to me would be the biggest possible issue. It sounds like a fun little project for sure. I’ve got a .32rf rolling block I have plans to change over to centerfire and chamber it for 32 swl. I figure it will be a fun, light little plinker.
