Are you talking sidelocks or in-lines
pluckit?
Reboring is common with sidelocks. I believe the current cost is somewhere around $100 - not bad considering you're getting what is basically a new barrel. Give these guys a call to check price and options.

As for in-lines, I just don't know if either one of those guys (or anyone) rebores them. Let us know if you find out anything along those lines.
