[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1511076, member: 2736"] Where I come from, no one will pay more than $35.00 or $40.00 for a factory take off barrel because of their quality and reputation. If it is new and never fired, you have a 50/50 chance of getting a good one and if it is a take off you have to ask yourself,why it was taken off in the first place. If you know the history of an aftermarket barrel and the shot count the decision is how much you are willing to pay and how much risk you will be willing to take that it will turn out good. If it belongs to a friend and you trust him, It will be worth more and the risk should be less, especially if it was a simple caliber change and the barrel had a good reputation for accuracy. I personally wont buy one at any cost unless I know it's history because with the cost of all required gun smithing, it can be a costly build if it turns out that the barrel is not very good. Just me J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
