The metal now used to make rifles is below par of that from yesteryear
Lothar Walther, Norica and some chinese barrels have been the toughest ones to machine of the ones I've repurposed.
Modern BSA barrels machine really easy, Gamos have been quite nice too if I remember correctly, and some chinese have been okay.
Webley barrels, no those would be sacrilege to start altering.
