Rem 513-T replacement barrel??

[jet_lagged]

Bought a Rem 513-T at an Estate sale that looked like it had a good bore. It did, but the chamber is f#$%^d and bulges and splits the brass, along with great vertical stringing due to shifting velocities.

I'm thinking that having the chamber drilled out, an insert installed and chamber reamed is going to cost more than I want.

Anybody have a source for used 513-T barrel or ex-CMP sale mil-surp spare? Numrich and an online search don't reveal anything in stock.

Also, any knowledge as to if the 2 pin mounting of the 513 barrel is common with the 510, 511, 521? etc to possibly substitute a lighter profile?

Yes you can. 510 511 512 513.

Numrich sells a replacement barrel for the 500 series Remingtons. I have seen a few new in the wrapper surplus barrels on ebay but they sell for a lot. You could send the barreled action to Redman's and have them put a complete liner in it. I have two rifles they relined and they both shoot well.
