NOOOOOOOOO! 38-56 is one of my favorite calibers! Seriously though, if you want it rebored try JES Reboring. Lots of folks here seem to reccomend him and Jesse up there gave me some good advice.

So as to make everyone feel better the bore shows no rifling, more like a sewer pipe!

Reline to 38-56 or rebore to 45-70

40-65 might also be an option.

40-65 is a sweet round, its the best shooter out of mine and my dads BPCR stable

Item #214810133 on gunbroker now, 24" 33 Winchester barrel with excellant bore for an 1886 Win.

Not mine, but worth looking at. Put your rifle back to original barrel length.
