[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 3613935, member: 26737"] A good gunsmith can do a lot of things, so that seems the most likely answer. There was a time that the big manufacturers would build a gun to order if you paid them enough, but I'm thinking the 62 and 68 are both too new to be a factory frankengun. Plus, I'm not sure what advantage you'd get from using a new 68 barrel on a new 62 action; if you had a 68 with a bad receiver and a 62 with a bad barrel, it might be worth the effort for a smith to match up the good parts, but I can't see asking Winchester to mix parts like that.
