    I own a Savage 1928a1, manufactured in September 1942. It's a complete, original gun. I use it as a shooter, and frequently partner with local firearms organizations to make it available for fundraisers, etc. (somewhat like a "rent-a-gun" but in this instance it's "make a donation to the org being supported" and you can run a mag or two through it). So far we've raised around 20K for Friends of the NRA, The One Team One Fight org, the Navy Seal Foundation, and the Special Forces Foundation. Because of this it probably has had 25K - 35K+ rounds put through it. When cleaning it recently, the barrel seems as if it is getting larger.... I now use bore brushes for .50 cals and have to stack up 3 patches up on the .45 cal jag in order for them to reasonably snug when going through the bore. In looking at the rifling it appears to be fairly worn, so I'm thinking that it may be time for a new barrel. It still shoots fairly well though. Prior to my purchasing it, it appears that someone used a pipe wrench to try to remove the comp, and it has some marks on each side from the wrench jaws. I'm interested in obtaining a NOS barrel and comp that would be correct for a September 1942 mfg Savage. This gun is a shooter - not a safe queen - but since it is all original other than shooting it I don't want to do anything to diminish it's value or authenticity. Paul Krogh will most likely perform the rebarrel, but he is out of NOS barrels and I'd like to keep it original. Can anybody suggest some good sources for a replacement barrel? Mine is not finned. Thanks much. Scott

    As I wait for my Form 1 paperwork to go through, I have not yet decided whether to put the factory Cutts on the shorter barrel, or go with a simple ring sight. I'm leaning toward just removing the compensator to make the overall gun as compact as possible, and I'm not sure what it advantages it has for semi-auto fire anyway... For those who have removed the compensator, did you notice any of the following side effects afterwards? Increase in recoilIncrease in loudnessDecrease in accuracyOther changes in performance
