[QUOTE="Dzaw, post: 144173, member: 7794"] Any good gunsmith that has the machinery to chamber has the machinery to contour. All it takes is a good lathe and some patience. Since it will be fully heat treated before thish it shouldn't move during the operation. However, if you do this, go with Krieger. Their barrels are as good as any, and the cut rifling won't induce stresses that can caue warpage in supsequent machining. I have heard of problems with button rifled barrels warping if they are recontoured later. Not to say you will neccessarily have a problem, but why chance it? If you prefer a barrel by a maker who button rifles, have them do the contour, but not the chamber, threads or crown. [/QUOTE]
