Have several that have spoken up for barrels already. Anyone here interested? $45 off reg. price, any contour, caliber and metal. I'll confirm each barrel fits the criteria as we go. Loren.
Please email me so I have your barrel spec and name and not forget anyone.

Put me down for one. How soon do I need to decide if I want it in .17 or .284?

Thanks Tim. I'd guess 1 or 2 weeks realisticly. Planning on getting everyones wish list, contacting Dan and checking to see they all meet the parameters first. Let me know. Loren.

I will take a barrel if they can do it to the contour and twist I want.

Make mine a 7mm 9 twist 4 groove in Chrome-moly, with a #7 contour.

The only way to be sure that I don't later have regrets, is to order two barrels.
So make my second barrel a #1 contour in .172 cal, nine twist. Chrome-moly also

Like I said in the other thread, that Dave is a bad influence.
Standard length will be fine. I'll probably finish the 7mm at 27" and the .17 at 24"
But I still can't decide if I want the 7mm to be in Dakota, RUM, STW or something else. I need to look into which cartridge makes the best use of a 27" barrel, and 162 Amax combination.

I'm even a bad influence on myself!
If I hadn't just spent all the money I have or am going to have for quite some time on a Jeep, I'd probably be getting another barrel with you guys, just on GP.

Tim, why not make it three?
I can't believe you don't need a new barrel in 22 or 24 or 25 caliber?
They make good jack handles, too.
Good hunting. LB

Leonard,
It's simple, Anything that a 22 or 24 can do, a 17 can do better. Less mess, visible impacts, better wind resistance, Less drop.
Some 25's might beat the 17's. But they can't even come close to touching a 7mm.
Why don't you just email Loren and order a 17 barrel for yourself. You'll get a good price, and we won't tell on you.
Think about this, three of the most knowledgeable gun guys on this board. Dave, Shawn and Vic, Are all 17 shooters.
There must be a good reason for that.

Hey Leonard, this one I'm going to try would put some dang fine ballistics in the air. Not much maybe on effeciency but that remains to be proven.

So you're a trouble maker huh Tim? Only thing Dan had to say about the barrel list is comments on your two.
He says he would "much prefer" a 6 groove in the 7mm. And, Dan doesn't do .17's in CM. SS only. What would you like me to do? Loren.

I'll be danged. The first negative comment I've heard about 4 groove barrels, and it came from Dan.
Let me drop him a quick note and ask him why.
CM or SS really doesn't matter much to me. I had thought I might get these barrels blued. I've never built anything with a CM barrel before, I've always ordered SS. I just thought I'd try something different this time.
DAA, ( Or anyone else )
I'm planning on shooting the 162 Amax as fast as I can out of a 27" barrel. ( I haven't yet decided on what brass to base it on yet )
What would you pick for a hot loaded 7? 4 groove or 6?

Tim, there is a lot of talk about five groove 5r, 5c barrels. I'm not that sure of the letter designation, but essentially, the lands have angled, or rounded edges. You might want to chesk into it? I think I'm convinced enough to try one.
Good hunting. LB
edit: the downside is I don't know if Lilja does it, or can order the blanks rifled that way?

Jack and Tim, will you please email me your shipping address so I can work up the rates? I figure on looking for at least close to the cheapest, let me know if you want different.

I finally heard back from Dan. Make that 7mm a 6 groove. CM or SS doesn't matter, but I need it in 9 twist.
Has any one here ever used Kirby Allen from up in Montana? I'm looking at building one of his 7mm Allen Mags.

Tim, Kerby did the work on my 223Ackley Improved. I'm satisfied. The Allen Mags are pretty radical, all max overbore cases, so barrel life will be limited, especially CM. To the point that I don't think it would be wise. Stainless is a much better choice if you are considering an Allen Mag.
Good hunting. LB
