Barrel rechambering

I have at present a couple Shilo sharps rifles, both in 45/70, and have been considering having one of them rechambered in 45/110 and my question is to those who may have had this done, and it is, when they rechamber to a longer caliber, do they make a change to the caliber stamping on the barrel, or leave it as stamped originally. Thank you for any answers, Wes.

I had my #3 45-70 extended to 45 2.6. Kirk stamped it 45 2.6 near the original stamping.

The Sharps Rifle Company back in the 1870's used to run out 45-2.1" chambers to 45-2 7/8" and 40-70 2.25" sbn to 40-90 2 5/8" sbn. For a dollar or 2. You didn 't really think McDonald's invented "super sizing" did you?...bobw

We will completely re stamp and blue or just put the new calibre next to the old one as the original company used to do.
