[QUOTE="diggler1833, post: 4163910, member: 48072"] Since I haven't seen it answered, a rechamber on a quality barrel will always be less expensive than getting a new barrel of equal quality (even a prefit). This includes doing a Remage conversion. The only way I'd ever buy a take-off barrel from somebody is if I knew them well. The ratio of junk to good examples increases significantly. Now, the barrel nut conversion allows you to perform this stuff on your own at home (a huge plus). However, you'll need a good vice, action bar, torque wrench (don't cheap out) and/or nut wrench and headspace gauges to do it properly. If you don't have those on hand, you might want to figure that into the cost of the first conversion at least. Taking a good quality barrel to a good quality gunsmith for nothing more than a rechamber should not cost you more than a couple hundred dollars, and that includes everything. Best of luck. [/QUOTE]
