For sale is a 20in Bartlein Carbon Fiber barrel for RimX action. This was a part of the SH group buy back in early 2020
(https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/threads/bartlein-carbon-fiber-22lr-rimx-prefits.7006313/)
It was chambered and threaded by John at Keystone Accuracy in PA.
FULL DISCLOSURE - I've had problems with this barrel on my specific setup. The problems were intermittent when I first got the setup complete in 2020 but I then moved across the country and didn't shoot it again until 2024 when I moved back to VA.
It was having regular failures to feed, extract, and stuck rounds in the chamber using Center X, SK, and Mag22.
After speaking to Ray at Zermatt in December 2024 (emails avail if needed) , we believed that the chamfer on the mouth of the chamber was too large. So I connected with Keystone Accuracy and John rechamfered and set it back.
After getting back from Keystone in Early 2025 the issues got better but still persisted intermittently and I didn't have the time or energy to deal with it further. It could have been some stacking of unknown tolerances with my prior chassis (krg Bravo along with this barrel).
I have now changed the setup with a different barrel and stock and I am now issue free.
So in the slim chance someone wants to dive into this, please recognize it may continue to need to be addressed.
/dear diary post over.
Barrel spec:
20in
~2.5lbs
Tennon is 1.18in
Muzzle before threads is 0.89in
Approximately 500rds through it
These were $800ish new if I recall my invoice correctly.
Selling for $300 shipped. Would be willing to trade only for match 6.5creed ammo or 7.62 175gr FGGM.
