I have a Mossberg 800 with a bad barrel (originally .243). My father gave it to me, so if possible I would like to keep it in service. I can get a .308 barrel for 75.00.
My question is: How hard would it be to fit the barrel myself? Is there a ton of machining required? What are the chances that it will just screw on and headspace properly?
Last question: Does anyone know of a smith who will fit it at a reasonable price?
Thanks!
