from what i have read online it is possible to have the barrel "fixed" by heating and then welding the break back into place. but that barrel could never be fired again. that said, i have been thinking if it was repaired like that could a sub-caliber barreled incert be put into the barrel? say a .30-30 incert. the ones that slide into the chamber and are held in place by a threaded keeper at the muzzle. i figure the gun is in such bad shape anything that is done could do no more harm.
