    ABS Carbon Barrel Special to LRH members

    I can add the 7mm to the list with the following qualification: Lead times may be extended in obtaining the 5R blanks. Our shipments of 7mm barrels from Rock have begun, however, the lead times are projected at least 3-4 weeks longer than the other calibers.

    ABS is willing to post a special price to LRH members using the custom rifle building services of Kirby Allen, Shawn Carlock and Dave Viers. The time saved in resolving amateur builder issues is well worth the discount to us. Barrels up to 30" long finish, calibers 22, 6mm, 6.5mm, 30 and 338...

    I've got 9 more 7mm projects in the works here waiting on blanks. I'm trying to be patient too. There were 12, however, I went with 2 Lawton blanks and a Kreiger for those that weren't locked on the 5R profile. I'm personally unwilling to own anything but the 5R Rock.

    Carbonman........

    GG, I talked with James this morning and found out that barrel went into the scrap bin after final inspection. They are having some issues with the 7mm rifling head. The hook advance on the 7mm machine is causing some cosmetic flaws in the grooves. I would gladly have put the barrel on a...
