[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 1863416, member: 27307"] There are literally hundreds of good gunsmiths capable of cutting and fitting any barrel whether it's Lothar Walther or any of the other quality barrel manufacturers. There's probably a couple of dozen who hang out here who could handle this project for you. I have used 10 maybe 12 LW barrels without ever encountering any problems with threading or cutting the chambers. I've read where a few folks have complained about the steel but I've never had any reason to say anything bad about them at all. In fact, several have proven to be superbly accurate across a range of cartridges and bullet weights. But so have most of the other barrels I've used. This price is fairly run of the mill where barrel fitting is concerned these days. If you look hard enough there are individual gunsmiths who will charge slightly less but then again, the better gunsmiths who are in demand are charging more. I don't order or work with pre-fit barrels at all so you're on your own there. Good Luck with your project!:) [/QUOTE]
