Home Forums Gear Free Classifieds WTS 7mm Marquart barrel

I have a 7mm barrel made by Marquart from a friend's estate that I would like to sell. As you know Paul Marquart was renowned for his barrels back in the day. I took it off a push feed Win Mod 70. Bud Morrow was the gunsmith who did the metal work in 1995. The bore is excellent as it should be since according to my friends logs it only has about 50 rounds thru it. Bluing is also excellent.

Now, here's the bad news. It is chambered for 7mm A&T Magnum. Bet you never heard of that one. It was an invention of my deceased friend, in fact, he built several in that caliber. Brass is necked down 300 Win Mag brass. Did a chamber cast and my gunsmith said it was pretty much a necked down 300 win mag that was just a little larger in the body just behind the shoulder. He thought there were several cartridges possible to clean up the chamber with the 1.47" untapered area at the action.
Diameter at the action 1.21"
Diameter at muzzle .68"
Barrel length 24 7/8"
Shank .695"

Anyway, that's what it is. Bluing is very nice although it does have a couple very small dings. I'll ship it to your door $120. I can send pictures if you are interested.
Thanks

I can do a chamber cast if that would provide you with information you need.

What, if anything, is engraved on the barrel? A&M Rifle Co. maybe? What is the twist rate?

Here are pictures of all markings on the barrel. I'll get the twist for you in the morning.

I get a 9 twist every time I measure it.

Barrel is too nice not to be put to use.

I believe that is called the 7 Practical now. Same thread pitch to work on a Ruger 77 too!

Reasonable offers considered.

I bet a 7mm STW would clean up that chamber.

Not to mention that Paul Marqaurt inherited PO Ackleys barrel making machines, cut rifled.

He made me 3 7mm barrels. All extremely accurate.

I can easily do a new chamber cast if that would help.

Can you get your hands on his dies?

The dies went with a complete rifle so weren't available to me.
