H&R 999 Barrel Swap Question

Fatstrat

I've got mid 1970's vintage 999 that has a bulged barrel. And while it doesn't seem to effect accuracy, I'm still toying with the idea of replacing it as a project. It looks like it might be easy. Any insights or advice?

It does look easy, not sure how much fitting is needed. I'd be more concerned that the new stuff would be to loose rather than to tight. If it shoots good, I'd just shoot it until it didn't then fix it.

Also note that a replacement 6" barrel from Numrich costs $88...
