[QUOTE="tobnpr, post: 3022408, member: 68758"] What "state" is barrel? Is it a blank? If so, you're light years ahead $$ just getting another barrel. If it's already been threaded/chambered/crowned and fitted to the action, answer is the same. My $$ sez he's not contouring them- Wilson is providing him pre-contoured blanks. You'd need a shop with a CNC and programming already set up for contouring for any hope of it being cost-effective. Mind-numbing to do it on a manual machine (did it once, never again), and cost for setup/coding at a CNC shop that doesn't do it regularly will most likely be prohibitive. If not done properly, it can introduce stress into the barrel or even bend it if subjected to real hackery... [/QUOTE]
