I just got a call from JES in Oregon: ship them the action and barrel and a check for $250, and in a week they ship it back. I drop it in the stock and I have a 35 Whelen.

Almost sounds too good to be true. I'll do it and update this thread with what I learned.

Bob, did they stamp the barrel with the new caliber or does it still show the old caliber?

I don't know about Bob's barrel, but JES stamped both of my re-bores with the new caliber.

It shows the new caliber. See the image below.
Nature. It's cheaper than therapy.
