I have a question about the rifle I wrote of on "New to me Bofors Steel .223". I removed the scope for a thorough cleaning and I had a good look at the chamber stamping. It appears to be stamped 222 with the last 2 stamped over with a 3, the bluing is over the 3 stamp and all looks original. Knowing the previus owner was a shoot it a few times before and durring deer season and throw it in the closet kind of guy. I seriously doubt that it was rechambered and reblued. Any posibilities that some of the 222 barrels in the first few runs were reamed a little deeper and stamped over with a 3 from the factory?
