Doble Troble Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 If memory serves, the 7 x 57 barrel I put on my 91 was a standard large ring shank. Barrels will be the least of you problems finding parts. The better news is that those 91s were so well made that you aren't likely to break anything.

LR threads are 1.100 major dia. all are 12 TPI SR threads are .980 " " 91 threads are .985 " " Could possibly lap 91 barrel into SR reciever using Clover Compound but don't know for sure. Starting out 5 thou to small in major dia. would be a No No. A LR barrel shank could be turned down for a 91 or a SR depending on minor thread dia. I would check with Mike/zlr, Clemson, Don Markey or another actual gunsmith before attempting either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or are you rebarreling one with a bad barrel that has been "sporterized"? I hav rebarreled several with commercial barrels in several calibers. I have one currently that is still a "work in progress" rebarreled to .35 Remington. It was done enough to cleanly kill this 8 point white tail last month with an RCBS 35-200-FN cast soft and slightly HP'd with a Forster HP tool. Velocity was 2150 fps. Works for me.
