40-90 rechamber or new barrel.

Post by Conan_568 »

I have bought a 40-90 Sharps Straight, and am hearing that they are not very accurate.
To avoid all the frustration of load development and disapointment I am considering one of the following options.
Should I send the barrel back to you to rechamber, rebore to 45-110?
Or should I just order a heavy octogon barrel from you in 45-110?
I do not want to send the whole rifle to you because I live in Canada, and its to much trouble.
I do know a very capable gunsmith who could install a barrel for me.
Thank you,
David
