I have an early Savage .338LM FCP that saw a lot of use 6-10 years ago, but sat out unloved for the last few years. Today I decided to take it out and clean it up. A cursory visual down the barrel showed something about half way down, so to clean out the dust (and apparently also copper corrosion) I wet a patch and ran it through.

Now I kid you not, this was not a staged photo nor a fake. This was actually in the bore. And I did not put it in there. This is how the patch came out.

Hey all. I’ve got a 27 inch factory AI barrel in 338 Lapua Magnum. I need a barrel for this rifle that is 300 Norma Magnum. I’d prefer 20-24 inches but will take anything I can find up to 27 inches. I’m extremely open to Proof Carbon or steel as well as factory AI barrels. If you’ve got Carbon I’d toss in some cash.

We would each pay shipping of our own barrel. My 338LM barrel is DE color and has 50 rounds on it. There are some scuff from the safe and I can send pics to potential trade partners. Threads are immaculate. No muzzle device included.

Holler at me if have something to trade here.

I guess I could be talked into other barrels such as 6.5CM or 300PRC but strictly looking for 18-24 inches on those. M30 threads only please.
