JES Rebore

[Westerner1939]

Looking to get my model 70 Rebored to 35 Whelen, it’s a classic sporter and I’d rather keep the factory Winchester nomenclature than rebarrel it.
I’m curious if anyone has pictures of how to go about the caliber designation.
I’ve read elsewhere that guys have sanded off the factory designation, it gets re stamped and then just touched up with cold bluing.
If anyone has pictures of this I’d love to see them.
Thanks

I don't have pictures, but I have seen it done several ways, some not so good..dremel to grind, then electric graver with new one, xxxxx, then stamped new one. On the good side, filed and polished off and new one engraved in, small end mill machined flat and new stamped in. Their are several ways to skin the cat, just depends. I haven't seen one from JES though.
