I have a heavy contoured barrel that is chambered in 260 Rem. The barrel is crowned and threaded. Is it possible to reduced the contour of the barrel to a smaller diameter and / or rechamber to a larger caliber? Would any gunsmith be able to do this or is this a project for only the barrel makers?
 
Re: Barrel contour and chambering

probably better off buing a new barrel. It would have to be rebored and chambered and contoured.
