[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 1668691, member: 24284"] That $250-$350 isn't just for screwing a barrel on and torquing it. It is for threading the barrel tenon, cutting the chamber with a finish chambering reamer, cutting the barrel to the desired length and crowning it. There's nothing to screwing a barrel into a receiver and torquing it. That's not where the cost is. Many can do as you ask and then allow you to screw the barrel on yourself, but you won't be saving anything. Precision work costs. Just price any precision, one-off work from a machine shop. And that's what a re-barreling job is, a "one-off", precision job that requires special tooling. I will add, it makes no sense to install a 'factory' barrel. The quality of most "factory" barrels just can not compare to that of the custom barrel makers. [/QUOTE]
