Having picked up a Utica 219 in 30/30 recently I thought I should find out a bit about it. Thank you for the forum.
DFW area, and it has already taken a spike this season, quite a feat from public land in TX. I have already purchased a 16GA barrel and forearm from Ebay that will be going to the gunsmith this spring for needed fitting. Really like the guns!

Before you pay a gunsmith to "fit" your new barrel and forearm, try installing them yourself. There is a possibility that the new barrel and forearm will drop right in place. I have had the good experience at least on 3 occasions. However, I have had to try a new barrel or 4 or 5 of my actions before I found one it would actually fit without any work being done to it. You might get lucky. Please keep us informed how it works out. Best wishes for a Happy New Year!
