Turks
Turks!
Yes, there are indeed some that are worthless. Ya just have to try and find the 'best' available. Getting one with matching #'2 is almost impossible.
I've one that still in 8mm, the other has been converted to .243. Both guns shoot very well and very tough.
Looking back, I'd not again rebarrel a Turk, just not worth the expense. Just leave it in 8mm and shoot it!
I don't think I'd ever again rebarrel a Mauser unless it's got matching #'s, there is just a 'smoothness' there that is not felt with rifle without matching #'s.
My two cents.
