As title says, looking for a true gunsmith / machinist that can rechamber a barrel. Prefer relatively local. Thanks in advance.

A little more info is needed. Rechamber from what to what? The devil is in the details...

There is more work "rechambering" and setting an existing chambered and fitted barrel back, than cutting a new barrel from a blank.

Not sure if Keith does re-chambers but this is the guy you want to use.

LOL because we were all thinking it was a rifle barrel.

Don’t include any details at all…just the bare minimum of details so we can’t fully answer your question.

Could you simply not just replace the barrel?

XJ: No. Currently there are none on the market. Wanting a PDW thats different.
Quiet: I asked a simple question. If you know a place, thank you. If you don't then scroll by. Details are none of your concern.

I have a source out of state that can. Was trying to support local business.
To those that tried to help, thank you.

Quiet is right.

First, it would be cheaper/easier to just swap barrels. Have a multi caliber gun and able to return to factory config if you want to sell.

Second, you have to replace the entire slide as the breechface dimensions are different between those two calibers.

If your slide breechface is cut for a 9mm round, a .357 sig round won’t fit without altering the slide.

.40 and .357 sig are the same breechface dimensions.

Then it is going to be very difficult to provide you with any recommendations. Good luck on your Secret Squirrel Mystery Project. :roll:
