I see used barrels in the forsale section all the time with prices of 250-350...my question is why would anyone by a used barrel for what a new one cost...most likely the head space and everything will have to be redone anyway...why would one not just by a new barrel and be done with it? is their something I am missing...
 
Re: buying a used barrel

ive done 7 builds and only once did I have to wait on a barrel, there has started to be a lot more places stocking them and its pretty common to find new barrels in the forsale section..<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: RenoH414</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I wonder the same thing. Wait time is all I can think of.

Re: buying a used barrel

Sorry, unless it's a steal I won't. I've been burned, and after you spend good money to chamber it and it won't shoot, I'm pissed. Good luck.
 
Re: buying a used barrel

I guess people just think "ah, I can just take my barrel off and put this one on"..and most likely head space and everything will be off...not to mention I just soon know I did barrel breakin correctly
