I have an unmarked single shot .22LR with a skeleton metal stock and a barrel that rotates out to load it. I *think* it is an old Garcia Bronco (if I recall the name correctly).
Anyway, the bullets are hitting sideways at 25 yards (when they hit the target at all). I even ordered a replacement barrel years ago from Gun Parts Corp., but it has the same problem.
I'm wondering if the barrel can be relined. The diameter of the 16-inch barrel is .450.
Yes, I fully realize that, if it can be done, the cost far outweighs the value of the rifle. However, it was my brother's (RIP) so its sentimental value is high. Besides, having a rifle that can't hit a large target at 25 yards annoys me.
Does anyone here do this, or knows of a 'smith who would consider this project?
Many thanks,
Richard
