Going to be building a 35 Whelen soon for Iowa gun seasons, and am looking into blanks. Does anyone make a cut rifled 358 blank?

Bartlein. I had one made from them for the same reason. I think they quoted 6-12 month lead time. I wouldn't count on it for this year if you need it that soon.

A: Yes! If you do due diligence in your research, there are plenty. Below is my quick research sample in addition to @Bfish22's recommendation.

I think you're right, and I missed it. That was my bad, they are button.

Make excellent cut rifled/hand lapped barrels. You can get pre-fits, contoured or blanks. They also sell barrelled actions. I have a few of their barrels, all shoot great. Prices are Canadian, so a $500 barrel works out to $375 U.S.. They ship to the States all the time, so no hassles getting them sent to you.

Occasionally you will get lucky and find a barrel you are looking for in inventory at Bartlein, check their website regularly. Same thing with Kreiger. A .358 barrel would probably be unlikely though. However Kreiger shows a CM .358 barrel in stock. No idea what the contour or details are.
