I'm looking for a .257 1-71/2" the same contour as a Douglas ?3. Douglas is smaller in dia. At 6" than most of the rest of the barrel makers. No room to open up the stock.

Most other barrel makers are .800 or .850 at the D (6") measurement.. I talked to a couple makers and they wouldn't Go smaller in a stainless steel for saftey reasons. Hal

I just got two barrels from K&P and they will make any contour and twist you want. I have not shot them yet but they look excellent. The 257 Weatherby is a Douglas #2 contour, the 270 WSM a true feather weight. Both are 1-7" twists.
