I am probably a few years late for this . . .

Several years back, I could find M2 surplus barrels in the US for $150 or less new. Lately they seem to be $250+ used and $350+ new. Is this the going rate these days, or am I looking in the wrong places?

Guess I missed the boat. I found some M3 barrels for slightly less, but still not enough less to be very attractive compared to a Pac-Nor blank.

you're on the high side, but that depends on whether you're looking at a stellite barrel or not

Where's a good place to look for BMG barrels? I have gone about it using Google, but I figure there is a lot I miss that way.

questioneer - don't know where you're at, but we usually get them at the machine gun shoot at knob creek

Thank you for the leads, gentlemen.

Drop Cole Distributing a line. They always have a few and usually have a dozen or so at Knob Creek. I do not recall the exact price but I think they usually run around $300.
