[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 1400848, member: 27307"] Does this suggest that you are not in the U.S. but in some other country? Other than this, when all is taken into consideration, the costs from the local gunsmith seem to be on par with the better known and busier gunsmiths in general. Check his schedule and reliability which can help with the decision. Hart makes button barrels which are less expensive to make due to the faster production rate. They have the edge price-wise over cut rifled barrels (Bartlein) which take longer to make. Hart can discount the package, undercutting the local gunsmith. Personally, I've use Bartlein barrels for the vast majority of the rifles I've built. The consistency and accuracy is beyond reproach. Unfortunately, their popularity forces a longer wait for custom ordered barrels. But with the advent of stocking dealers as mentioned above, you can, with the touch of a couple of buttons, purchase and receive a new Bartlein barrel in just a few days. Good Luck with your project!
