RR,
I think you are approaching this in an intelligent manner. It is possible, but expensive, to put steel back into a barrel. I have a Fox AE that came F/F and I opened it to .020/.030. That left barrel is awfully tight! I'm either going to open it to .010/.020 or put thin walls in it and shoot it for everything. Have a great hunt!
Regards,
Jeff
