[QUOTE="Calamity, post: 2491064, member: 112048"] If a full length barrel is the only option, then the only consideration is cost. Right now, Inconel 817 is available from Online Metals.com. A 1.25 inch OD round is $638/ft, so a 3 ft workpiece will run about $1800-$1900 depending on qty discounts. I believe a regular barrel maker can do the job, but it will take longer and require tooling. Labor will likely be the major cost. There are other refractory metal alloys available; Hastaloys, cobalt, etc., and it would be a development project to find out which one will replace 4140 moly and SS410/416 for high velocity barrels. It might be worthwhile to the inventor in the long term financially, as the military and other industries might benefit from the research. It is beyond my resources, so I'll leave it there. [/QUOTE]
