...because they are now history. After VVCG folded, I was told that Eben would tool up and begin producing his own barrels -- and that was several months ago. Figuring they should be up and running by now, I called to place an order for a 26" Contender barrel in 6.5 BRM. But I was told the only non-factory Contender barrel I could get would be from the TC Custom Shop. In fact, Eabco is still trying to talk the TC Custom Shop into chambering their Bench Rest Magnum calibers -- but so far, no deal has been reached.

I wondered about that myself Bobby. That is a real shame, never good to loose a good source of accurate barrels. Frowner I am kinda surprised that Eben doesnt just buy complete barrels from FR and then rechamber them.
