Default Re: removed barrel from action

Yeah, what they already said, it's trash.
What you COULD do, if you have all the old parts to make a complete rifle again, is take the barrel to a welding shop and have the chamber ruined with weld to where it will NEVER chamber a cartridge, then, pull the firing pin and spring, and even stamp on the non-bolt handle side of the receiver "non firing replica only", re-assemble and hang it on a wall, if your into those kind of decorations.
If not, heat it up again and hit it with a hammer and squash the barrel end out of round. Heat the barrel in the middle, and bend it .
Assembled, and properly deactivated, it is still worth a buck or two at a gun show either as a wall hanger or a parts piece, so, all is not a total loss.
