In some cases if the damage is caught early enough a chamber iron can be used to push the damaged material back into position.ĭo nothing or sell at the next gun show are also options, but not the ones I would pick. The fact that the 12 is pump action with lots of parts mounted to the bottom of the barrel will also complicate this option. The design of the barrel mounting will play a big factor in how easy it is to do. Not the first choice on a collectors piece, but this sounds like the other end of the market. If you have the machine tools and time to modify the barrel stub this can work. The welder needs to know his stuff and do a clean job.

This is the sort of thing we consider on a 22 RF, but not a larger caliber. Line the barrel and re-chamber – common fix on older 22’s and easy to do in the home shop, but may be a bit tricky on this model as stated in a previous post I think they offered replacements at one time. Re-barrel – that means scrounging up a replacement barrel. The up side is you can’t go very far wrong where value is concerned. The down side is, no return on investment if you repair and sell. The model 12 Remington is a neat little pump action 22 as I recall.īased on the condition you describe the gun has minimal value on the collectors market. Ok, you have a beat up old 22 with firing pin damage to the chamber, rather common question. Thank you for any advice on repair or barrel availability. Is there any practical way to repair this? I like the rifle because it is small and light weight plus it has sentimental value.I would even replace the barrel if I could find one in decent shape.Would a hexagon barrel interchange with the round version? The firing pin has gouged a burr into the top of the the outer edge of the chamber where the rim would normally seat is corroded leaving very little support for the rim on the bullet. However, while reading through the published deck logs of BB 63, they do not have any indication of firearm logging.
