Gunsmithing surplus m2 barrels

[matthias]

i was digging through my stuff and found two surplus m2 fifty caliber machine gun barrels that i bought a few years back. they appear to be new and they are the light weight version of the barrels used for aircraft 36 inches long . here are my questions
1- what are they worth ?
2- what can they be used for other than machine gun ?


thanks guys

Re: surplus m2 barrels

Could be used to build a 50bmg bolt gun. No idea on value

Re: surplus m2 barrels

The demilled/reweld ones go for about $200/ea
The complete ground gun barrels SARCO has for $500

That might give you some idea of where to start for worth. You could build a pretty neat bolt action BMG using those barrels if you had the time and inclination.
