If you got it for $250 you stole it. You guys are in for some sticker shock. I recently got my 2008 dealer price sheets for three different company's. For the standard all blue 20" round barrel carbines prices start at $410 wholesale before S&H. On average it looks like everything went up $...

The 11 degree cone is much easier on lead bullets for sure. Think of it like this. It's a funnel. Old style funnels had steep angles and if you poured into it too fast it sloshed over. The 11 degree cone is more like the long or tall sided funnels that allow you to pour faster with out sloshing over...

The more important thing to consider is the angle in which the locking bolt engages the breech bolt. Maximum pressure could be achieved if they locked at 90 degrees perpendicular. The problem with that is once the round is fired the two tend to bind up making the gun impossible to open. Actions like...

After you center punch it you may want to consider using a spotting drill or counter sink to start the hole. Many times I will not even CP it. I'll + mark it and just use the spotting drill. In a drill press with a cross slide vise you can spot it and if it's off you can make ajustments to correct.

Unless it actually burnt the wood off of it I doubt it got hot enough to weaken the barrel. More like the bore is the problem. Fire dried bores rust easily. If the bore is ok I would look at how it was reassembled. Loose parts hanging from a barrel aint good for accuracy.
