Looking for ideas

[Hunt eat repeat]

My grandpa had a .270 Wyb built back in the early 60s. After many years of heavy use I was lucky enough to inherit that gun. The barrel was totally shot and I figured it was worth rebuilding. So now that it’s finished I have the old barrel laying around. I’d like to do something with it. I was thinking I could maybe have some rings made for my dad and I. Any other ideas ?

It could be cut down and used as a reloading press arm.

Meh, its just a barrel. I'd toss the thing. Stake for the horseshoe pit or somethin maybe

Fashion some darts and turn it into a heavy duty blow gun.

That’s a good idea. I might have to look into that.

That’s a good idea. I might have to look into that.

In the blackpowder world, some guys have the old barrels made into tomahawk heads also.

No way to recondition the barrel? Never really thought about it as I don’t rifle hunt and rarely shoot, but could a barrel maker fix the rifling or open it up to a slightly larger caliber?

JES might be able to bore it out and rechamber it.
