They are even cheaper elsewhere if you search the part number. No idea if those places are ligit.

Anyone have suggestions on where to have these chambered? This is the first blank I've bought.

I do not.

I’m going to swap my 24” factory with a 20” and add a suppressor.

Do a search for good gunsmiths in your area. Otherwise you can ship to some of the bigger outfits (Kampfeld, LRI, etc.). You're usually looking at roughly $350 for a chambering and install job, add another $50-100 for muzzle threading.

$161 on Gunbroker. Something seems odd about this?!?

Brownells is likely a safe bet. Who knows with the other places.

Thanks for the info on costs. Looks like the muzzle is already threaded.

It feels like a price mistake from a distributor. Could be that theyre clearing out stock - doesn't appear to be large quantities of either option available.

Or they’re junk barrels... Christensen is known for a lot of accuracy issues.

I bought a Christensen prefit to replace a shorty barrel on a CA MPP… accuracy was a bit finicky I don’t reload but I finally found some factory ammo it likes. This was a .308 my last 3 shots once I found ammo it’s happy with. Didn’t have time for a proper 10 round group, but I’ll get one of those eventually haha

The question there would be is that the barrel, the chambering job, or the system?

I haven’t looked in a while but as I recall their blanks were considered good over on LRH or LRO

 

[waspocrew]

I don’t need it, but that’s pretty cheap for a carbon blank. I’ve spent more money on worse haha. Maybe they’ll sell out before I click submit.

Will this just cost me $239...20" 6.5 barrel. Probably replace the factory barrel on my sons 6.5 tikka.
