Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Will Winchester rebarrel a rifle for me?

I’ve had great service from Douglas. They rebarreled an Interarms MkX with a stainless 6mm Remington barrel for a little under $600 and I got it back in less than a month. That’s as good as anybody and you get a great barrel.

Here's a push feed 7 Rem Mag barrel:

Thanks a bunch for the help. But I already have a used 7RM barrel. That is what I am replacing. (kidding here)

I finally got to talk to a very helpful person at Shaw. The order form is filled out and the rifle is boxed up ready to mail tomorrow.

They will duplicate the original factory contour. Make it 26 inches with 1 in 8 twist. Gloss blue the entire barreled action for $515 plus $40 to ship it home.

Minus a 20% Black Friday discount.

So it is a new barrel chambered and fitted and back on my door step for $450. I would probably have close to that buying a used barrel and having it fitted. The website says expect a six month turnaround.

The kid will have it for next season with a Burris FF II 4.5-14X42 in Tally LW mounts with 100 rds loaded with Midway's 150 gr seconds. Green polymer tips. Probably Sierra, but who knows. I still have a couple bags of 160 gr AB from SPS if he thinks he needs an elk load.

Your son prefers the 26” over the 24”?

Also, that’s a very long lead time.

Hart list 8-10 weeks. What was Pacnor? Douglas?

Far more expensive for this project.

I just need it as good as factory.

The expensive guys will get my 264 project. Probably PacNor as ceracote is listed as part of their service. Though I have not checked yet. Douglas or others may do so also.

Sticker shock at USPS. $60+ for shipping over size package with $700 insurance.

She did not ask contents. Just as it should be.

24 vs 26, yes. We are in a world of sagebrush, cheatgrass, and interspersed light timber. Ponderosa, doug fir, and lodgepole typically with an occasional quakie grove.

Nothing in which the extra barrel length would be a handicap.

And hell, extra barrel can always be removed. Not so the the reverse.

I double what Pappy said. Their first barrels were hit or miss. But their barrels for maybe the last twenty years or so are good.


Recent ERShaw barrels now have been sub-MOA or better barrels for me. For a hunting rifle I don’t see the need to get sub-.25 MOA.

Yes, LOL, the recipient of this rifle is not capable of distinguishing a 1/4 MOA rifle from a 1 MOA.

Hell, I do not know if I can anymore, except from the bench. I used to be able to shoot 1/2 MOA from prone or rested over a boulder.

Mine from this year will barely beat 2"
