Devon Posted October 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 so its not a waste of time getting it then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cagimaha Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 Im not an expert but even if it can't be welded then it will be able to be re-lined which would allow it to be used again. What's it off? Unless it is a rare item or has porting that has had lots of time and money put into it then it may well be cheaper to get another one. To get a cylinder re-lined costs in the region of £100 last time I checked. For a definitive answer your best bet would be to contact www.pjme.co.uk and get a quote. They will undertake most repairs of this sort. Hope this helps, Ben. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure you find out how much a new barrel costs first, it may not be worth recoating! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
