Ron, I'm remembering the fairly recent post about micro-welding. If these people can do something for this situation, it might be worth it to build up the pits with this process, and polish/ream the chamber to effectively refresh its surface. A Re-barrel would cost the replacement barrel plus the labor (presumably by G.T., at this point) to do the changeover. Total would conceivable be several hundred dollars, and from what we were shown as the work done for about ~ $450 on that P-38 (?) part, the chamber may cost less to fix. I'm just sayin' it might be worth checking out.
