[QUOTE="westcliffe01, post: 787180, member: 35183"] Sorry to be nosy, but what exactly are you hoping to gain with a re-barrel ? If you must have a 5R 11 twist barrel in **Edit they are stainless**, "right now" Stockys has blanks in inventory [URL="http://www.stockysstocks.com/servlet/the-666/Rock-Creek-5R-Cut/Detail"]Rock Creek 5R Cut Rifled .308 & .264 M24 Barrels - Varmint - Target - Tactical[/URL] Just take note: They have a heavy contour and still need to be chambered see below: [FONT="Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica][SIZE=2][COLOR=black]Gunsmith Installation Summary [LIST=1] [*]Cut to length; [*]Threaded for receiver; [*]Chambered for cartridge desired; [*]Crowned as desired; [*]Fluted IF desired; [*]Coated, or otherwise finished. [/LIST] Why exactly would you want such a light contour barrel which are notoriously fussy with their loads and string when hot, if you could get something heavier for no additional cost ? If your climbing mountains with it, then just ignore my question... Your gunsmith can re-contour it without much fuss, but you could as easily (or cheaper) open up the inletting on your stock. Something else to consider is you can get a Criterion match barrel that attaches with a barrel nut which ships to you with no gunsmithing needed except to buy a $30 go gauge for your chamber and a barrel nut wrench for another $40 and if you don't own one, a receiver wrench. Northland shooters supply is the Criterion outlet and he can sell you all the tools you will need too. He buys many barrels at one time and often enough, he already has in stock something suitable, or he can tell you approximately when his next delivery is coming in. He also carries popular barrels from Shilen. You have to call Jim on the phone during MN business hours though. He is too busy to be answering emails.
