	I would really like to see what you might have done yourself before you condemn anyone else?

	John, send me a rifle and I'll do it for you. Then you can see what I'd do.

	At the time this was done, it may have just been 'a worthless old single shot', that was unshootable for lack of ammo. At least the pieces are there, as opposed to all the varmint rifles a lot of them were hacked up to build. And why? Because they were cheap. Why were they cheap? Because nobody wanted them, and/or, couldn't shoot them for lack of ammo. Maybe peening them down would save some material removal in polishing. Another option at that point, although maybe not traditional, would be to copper plate and polish before nickel plating.

	Action & barrel useful for students to practice. Link timing, chambering barrel fitting scope block mounting etc. When finished strip & sell parts. Buddy of mine & I bought the worse Parker VH shotgun you have ever seen. 250 dollars each. They are real complicated. Stripped and reassembled dozens of times each. Then sold it for 500 bucks. Cheap lessons. Boats

	the thing about the bay state ,Hopkins & Allen rifles is they just changed the link to make it center fire or rim fire and some links have two holes in them. he went to to much work off setting the barrel. Ken

	MrTipUp wrote on Jun 2^nd, 2021 at 1:01pm: and the bore is not necessarily "ruined" by the welding Bill Lawrence Talk with anyone who does welding on firearms and they'll tell you the same thing. If you have to weld on a barrel, be prepared to put a liner in it. The welding process will move metal and distort the bore resulting in a ruined bore. I've been told that even welding up scope holes will distort the metal, so welds as heavy as these scope mounts will surely cause much more distortion. It may shoot OK, but it wont shoot as it did prior to the welding.

	Tell that to Peter Nagel, the best and most experienced welder I know, whose preferred and most common work involves firearms. Or does it matter that he almost completely fills scope block holes with a screw beforehand? Bill Lawrence

	The seller does not describe the bore condition in the listing, it may already have a sewer pipe bore?
