Rebarreling an Omark?

Post by andym79 » 01 Mar 2019, 7:35 pm

Hi, is rebarreling an Omark 44 worth it or not?

The one I am looking at has a Maddco barrel adapter on it, can they be re barreled like an normal rifle then?

Do these work okay with an adapter or do they loose strength and accuracy with them?

An Omark type barrel is out of the question due to excessive cost!

Hi there, did you end up locating any adapters? I have two used maddco adapters that have been in my spares box for some time. They are used but in good condition
