[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 349650, member: 8"] For a custom twist you would need to talk to the barrel maker. He may actually have a button but just not advertise it. If he does not have a button then he has to order one to be made. That process takes time. I do not know if he will charge you or not. It seems it will vary upon whether he believes it is a useful button and others will want it. I have experienced it both ways. I believe the cost of a button was about $300 five years ago. As strange as it may seem, there is a lot of skill and craft that goes into a barrel. It may take the barrel maker several attempts to get a new button to produce a quality barrel. I do not understand it well. It is more than just putting a cylindrical piece of steel in a machine and pressing the "run" button Given my experience I would recommend if you want a special twist that you go the cut barrel route and pay the twenty dollars. You will have your barrel a lot sooner (perhaps ???? speed is not something the gun building industry is famous for). [/QUOTE]
