I had Dave at IT&D put a Remington .223 VSSF barrel on my Remington .17 action and punch it out to .223 AI. His work is superb and the rifle shoots better than I could have hoped even from a barrel from a custom maker. Sometimes the factory take off barrels can be very good and save some real money. And IT&D's prices are usually more than fair.

Never underestimate your ability to overestimate your ability.
