My local gunsmith did mine for me. He did a good job, they shoot well and it was free. I bought the drill, reamer and liner, he kept the drill and reamer. He did this a while ago. I had helped him put up a 36x40 building, I gave him a weekend of labor for framing, siding and roofing. In return, he built me two F Class rifles (I provided the materials), relined two of my Marlin 27s and rebarreled and chambered a Jap T38 to 6.5X57 Mauser for me. I think I came out ahead on the deal.
