Many years ago, I had a place in KS do some work on an 1890. It had a shot out bore, and they slid a perfect new sleeve down to the last 1/8". You would have to look hard to see it. This isn't an issue for your gun, as you probably have a better bore than that gun had. What they did do, that made it even more fun, was convert it to shoot (only) .22MRF. The advantage was it gave it alot more snot, which the bolt and action easily can handle, and also, to be able to use ammo much more readily available. The place was called the 90-06 Armory. We're talking 25+ years ago, and they may not even be around anymore, but if they could do it, there are probably others that can also. As I recall, they used a carrier already deepened and didn't modify mine, which was returned with the gun. Another "shudda kept it" gun. Oh Gawd, now I'm starting to relive the shuddas.
