[QUOTE="lazylabs, post: 555011, member: 6641"] Do you plan on having the barrel maker actually install the barrel? The specs you mention are mostly and issue for the smith barreling the gun and not the actual barrel manufacturer. If your having someone else do the chamber work then they can help you make those decisions and then have them order the barrel and they can work the specs they are looking for. If your going to have the barrel maker do the work they will get all those specs worked out with you. It's just best to get a smith lined up and have those questions talked over. Barrel makers need to know: material, moly or stainless contour length twist rate number or lands/grooves bore dia(only same let you specify this) groove dia(again only some) some button guys have different grades(go with the best possible) some offer lapping as an option but most quality barrels are lapped So first find out who is doing the work and then just let them guide you along the way and then get second opinions or verify with others if you choose to second guess them.
