	Outstanding and thanks for posting to the OP! I’d like to replace a barrel on a Marlin 1894 TKD in 25-20 with a new old-stock Badger blank I have. But then again roll-stamp for another I’m having done has proved a nightmare to get completed. I would not travel that road twice.

	Best Regards, John

	I have just seen this post, here in Australia it would be considered fraud to mark a replacement bbl with "so called" original markings, do other collectors share my thoughts, or is there no care for authencitity? I have a spare Low Wall 25-20SS with a really bad bbl, intend to get it re-lined then re-sell as a "shooter", but not original.Am I being too pedantic? david a.

I can see how some might be mislead by unscrupulous sellers of rebuilt, or faked firearms, but most collectors can easily tell a laser engraved or hand engraved rollstamp over real rollstamps. So I for one have no problem with this and will likely have it done in the future. When I have a new barrel installed on a nice old gun I'd like it to look as close to what I took off the gun. It's more a case of doing a proper restoration than fraud or misleading a buyer. I collect Ballard rifles and their barrels are never stamped with the Marlin rollstamp. So if I rebarrel one and leave it unmarked am I misleading people who don't know it's been rebarreled?

	Apologies for the delay, long hours in the shop these days. These are hard to photograph, but I think these will work.
