Ya the best thing to do would be to sell the thing as buyer beware on gun broker other than that i would not trust it unless you would chamber it in a smaller round but thats a whole different discussen and could get extremely expensive.

If you would try the whole rebarrleing in a diferent cartridge i would go with a .243 it would be very unique and differnet. I would do that myself but dont have enoug money to try that.
