[QUOTE="Gene, post: 1080095, member: 7402"] Back in the 80's I decided I wanted to build a custom 221 Rem for walk up chucks. Bought a beautiful birds eye maple stock, and a Sako A-1 action. Wanted a short, bbl, 3/4th inch at muzzle. Checked around, could not find the right .224 bbl. Went to my regular smith, told him my story, asked for a recommendation. He pulled a bbl out from his storage room and said "Want this one?" He traded a guy this and other bbls for labor in building him a gun. No markings on it, no breech end id. 14" CM, exactly what I wanted. Smith gave me a good price on bbl and labor to chamber. This bastard bbl shoots exceptionally well. Consistent half min groups So I do not care who made it. [/QUOTE]
