[QUOTE="Buck Fever, post: 1947969, member: 113501"] This is actually a very good idea, no concentric rings, you can line up the chamber as precisely as you can measure and probably control the cut to 0.00002" or so if you know what you are doing and the machine is top notch. The only issue is cost and if you lined up enough business, that could probably get reasonable too. Heck, you could probably hammer forge a tough alloy with a bore and rough chamber, then button rifle it and finish the chamber with EDM. That would only leave receiver and muzzle threads to machine conventionally. It would make custom contours hard to make but that might be what it takes to make barrels with a tough alloy. That would all sound great if it worked. I don't think anyone would try to produce that commercially unless they had a huge order up front or they already knew it was going to double barrel accuracy life and also knew they could sell it.
