    nyforester,

    They didn't really stretch it, they welded a piece onto the end. Just like they did with a bunch of Mausers that had to get that done to import them. Ask the seller if the bore has rifling for the new section.

    EDIT:

    If you were thinking of buying this I would follow Perry Shooters advice. You can listen to better stories for free.

    SAFE imho without knowing the person that did the work [xx(][:(]NO. is it possible Yes has been done on many old collector 18th and 19th century guns but only by people trying to scam others. I would stay away from this item there are many good guns on this site for sale . Buy the gun not the story imho this one is a P.O.S.
