barrel

Hi guys, i hope that not exist a similar thread....so, i want to know, based on your experiences, life of barrel.... after how many shots should be changed? my question is for 308 win, but you can bring back experiences for other calibers. Thanks

Was hoping someone might have a few suggestions a new shooter. I've read a few different articles, all claiming to be the "right" way to break in a new barrel. Everything from cleaning after every shot, to once every 20 shots. What exactly am I looking for as I swab the barrel? I apologize...

What is the minimum barrel length in a .308 bolt rifle that is necessary to reach 1000 yards using factory ammo ( most likely 168 SMK).

I know I have seen it, and it isnt much, but I have searched with both engines and have not found the answer. What kind of life can I expect from the 26" Kreiger barrel in my Desert Tac SRS 338LM?

Hi. I currently own a Savage 93 .22 magnum. Do they make a .22LR barrel for this gun? If so, where do I get it, and how accurate is it?

Can someone give me the link to the thread where someone on here went through the process step by step of converting a 10/22 to fit a 77/22. Can't find using either of the two search functions.

Krieger has the MTU that I believe is 1.20" in diamiter for 2.75" then tapering to .930 at the muzzle. Some of the other barrels are around the same diamiter at the breech but stay that diamiter for up to 5" before tapering down. Is there an advantage to this or is that just the style some of...

I have a Rem 700pss. 308. The chamber is oversize. Once fired and then body sized and neck sized the brass will not fit in a Reding mic. seating die. How much do they have to cut off the barrel to rechamber it. Woody

Hi Everyone, I am a newb here and want to learn more. I hope I am posting this in the right section. I am in the market for a new barrel for my Savage 10FP in .308. I have never bought a replacement barrel before so the whole process is new to me. I have narrowed it down to either a...

Looking to cut down my .303 SMLE barrel for a "truck gun" project. Are there any Hide members that would rent out the hand tools to face and crown a barrel? I know lathe cut is the way to go, but this is a truck gun. Minute of pie-plate at 100yds is good enough. If you don't have the correct...

I am wondering what is the best barrel twist for the 123 grain lapua screnar? I was looking and have found 1/7.5 and 1/9 twists. I am hoping to change my AR-15 A-2 into a 6.5 Grendel SPR when funds become avail. So any help would be great.

Would it be advantagous to coat inside of barrel or would it cause a loss of rifling effect?Is it even possible?

ok thinking of a rebarrel job on a 700.. i've thought 6m br but have been reading about the 30 br an sounds very interesting.. what has attracted me is the life of the barrel they say 5~6000 rnds ? which brings me to the question .. would you go with a chrome moly or stainless considering the...

A friend asked me to fit a moderator to his 30/378. It is a Norwegian A tech mody. I took the muzzle break off the 30/378 but the threads do not match any of the taps I have! What thread pitch would Krieger have used?

Just rebarreled my Remington 700 with a Schneider barrel. Any thoughts on how to break it in. Read some articals that say it is a waste of time. Others say to treat barrel with Sentry Solutions Smooth Kote with BP 2000.

Building a 308 ar on a dpms lower. Got everything but the barrel. Would like to hear results from you guys. WOA Kreiger Lothar Walther and any other suggestions! thanks for the input.

Hopefully not a stupid question, but I'm going to be putting together an AR upper tomorrow and while I've put together and taken apart 4-5 other uppers before, when I dry fit the barrel into the upper receiver, it was very loose...it didn't need any lube at all and easily slips in and out with a...

I'm ready to pick up a barrel for my 300 RUM 700 build. I would like to buy either a Douglas XX or Shilen because I can get a good deal on them through Brownells with my C&R. Would either of these be better than the other? Are they good quality? The stainless barrels are about $60 more than the...
