Sean VHA #60013Looking for a 375win or 35rem barrel
Greetings! I am looking for a 375Winchester carbine Contender barrel in good to excellent condition, anything 16" or over is fine.
Also looking for a 35Rem Carbine Contender barrel in good to excellent condition, again, anything over 16" is fine.
SS or Blued or whatever finish is ok, so long as it is in good to excellent condition.Custom or factory.
If you have one of the above for sale or trade, e-mail me at
starivout@aol.com with CONTENDER CARBINE in the subject line of the e-mail.
Thanks!

skb2706Good luck and if you find two I would go for one of them. I have bid on about a dozen of them from time to time only to get beat out by somebody willing to pay alot more than I. I figured if I was paying custom barrel prices I am buying a custom barrel.
Sean, Sounds like you have a specific plan in mind (or unused loading dies on the shelf) but have you given any thought to getting the new 375 JDJ factory barrel? It ought to outrun both the Winchester or the Remington rounds. Otherwise, the T/C Custom Shop
http://www.foxridgeoutfitters.com/ will sell you a 375 Win or 35 Rem barrel in any length between 16.25-24 inches for between $230-270. Good hunting! McB
