	Yes, bpjack. My 30-30 highwall, so advertised by a large auction company, turned out to be a 30-40. Of course, it is one of my most accurate singles so all was forgiven.

It shoots fine but looks to have a long throat. Pretty close Jack. But if I bought even a 75 yr. old rifle I'd still do a chamber cast. My newest rifle is a Remington Model 37 target rifle in .22LR and made in 1937. I didn't chamber cast it because it's a .22LR and never done a chamber cast on a .22LR yet. So they're the exception to my personal rule.

	I have to admit that I have 5 rifles made after 1919. 2 are BSA 22s One is a 1930s Winchester 94 40-30 and two are modern. A .223 AR that I bought before they stopped selling them in our socialist state and a .308 Ruger Scout rifle. I shoot those every other year or so just to make noise.

As near as l can tell looking with a magnifying glass it's not a reline. We were all acting in good faith to help you set a value for your gun based on both your initial description and this follow-up response. Now you are defensive that we don't understand why you left out the most critical issue which would have totally changed our help as to your gun's valuation and not raised our expectation for it's sale here. I took the rifle to the range after my first post asking about it. There several members here who are upset with me that I didn't sell it to them or on the website. That's why I'm defensive. I'll put it back on the crybabys. Would you sell a piece that has a known problem on a forum? Even if you disclose the information nobody's going to pay top dollar then. Also what would you do if the new owner is injured and comes back on you? The only way I found it was a oversized chamber was by getting a face full of hot gass and doing a casting. How many of you guys do a chamber cast on a caliber marked piece? Or do you have calibrated eyes? I do, simply because I have more rifles that do not conform to what they should be than do. Over/under chambers and bore are very common.
