You got a deer rifle to trade for one. I have one I haven't shot in 15 years.
I don't, but shoot me a price on it.

Remington going under was the worse thing to ever happen in the gun industry . Not really.....the quality of the firearms slowly did them in. At least now folks won't be tempted to buy new junk. they all make junk cheap models , just dont buy those . ive had a few Remington never had a problem . i got a marlin they made it shoots as good as any iv ever owned . really the trigger might be a litte better

If you find a barrel, be sure to check the headspace with your bolt. It may or may not be in spec.
I'd try to find a barrel and bolt combo from the same gun if possible.
That makes the search much more difficult though

That makes the search much more difficult though no doubt he changes the barrel a gun smith needs to do it . id have him check the chamber to see if it pitted too .

I've worked on a pile of those things and I think maybe 2 didn't have rust in the chambers. Fortunately I was able to polish out all but 1 and get them back in service. The 1 was so bad it was sold for parts.

Gundoc, if the headspace is a bit too deep couldn't you face off the reciever side of the attaching lug? If it is too shallow, a finishing reamer would clean it up, yes/no??
Remember: It aint what you shoot...it's how you shoot it.
