GPR to Lyman Trade barrel swap

[silverfox]

Haven't done anything like this yet. If someone has what problems will I run into. I know the lugs will have to be moved. Will that be all except the under rib adjusted. Not trying to build a silk purse out of a hogs ear just wondering if it would be worth doing or to just get a new tradegun barrel.
Original barrel is bad did all the polishing and stuff and it burns patches and will only group about 6" at 25yds so different barrel is in the works eitherway.
Is this worth the doing.

IMO you'd be better off getting Track of the Wolf to assemble you a new barrel using your breechplug, sights, rib, and thimbles. The barrel quality would be much better.

Or consider this....

How about spending only $95 and getting a brand new Lyman Trade Rifle barrel from Midsouth? Seems lots cheaper and easier.

Or if I'm reading your post backwards, spend a little more for a new GPR barrel while still saving buxx and hassles.

I have a GPR in .54 cal. accuracy is not great, Ok, but not great.

Had a custom barrel fitted to the stock in .40 cal. great accuracy, cheap way to get a custom gun accuracy.

IMO you dont get a great barrel from any of those guns.

I have been looking at that but if I end up with a GPR barrel cheap enough just thought it might be worth the try.
Thanks Fox :thumbsup:
