a local acquaintence has done that with a A & B and also in a couple of other calibers with A & Bs and ER Shaws.. he has had real good luck with both... I think Roger Bartsche here also did a barrel in 257.. but I can't remember if it was a Roberts or a 250 Savage... Life Member: The American Vast Right Wing Conspiracy Jan 20, 2009..

I have one A&B barrel, accuracy is quite good but the bore is rough and requires quite a bit of elbow grease to get it clean. Personally if I'm going to pay someone to cut a nice chamber and properly install a new barrel, I'll put the extra money into a higher quality tube. __________________________________________________ The AR series of rounds, ridding the world of 7mm rem mags, one gun at a time. | |||

 The AB barrels can be hit or miss. A 22-250 I have does a nice pattern for a shot gun. A .308 heavy does ok sometimes under moa sometimes not.A .35 wehlen converted to a .358 x.404 IMP does rather well. The 25 caliber that Sea Fire speaks of is a 250-3000 Shaw barrel on a Mod 200 Syevens and it is a charmer. Now this is after all the triggers have had a lot of work. If you are looking for a AB barrel to be used on a hunting rifle out to 250 yds. or so my experience indicates it would be OK.  rogerOld age is a high price to pay for maturity!!!

Not sure what they cost but I'm a huge fan of Pac-Nor 3 groove barrels. I have about 8 of em and haven't had a clunker yet knock wood. "If a man buys a rifle at a gun show and his wife doesn't know it"...Did he really buy a rifle? Firearm Philosophy 101. montdoug | |||
