Anybody out there had a barrel done by these folks?

Comments?

yep,
i wanted a straight taper on a barrel i had and it is what i got. put it on a montana action and just got it back from scrollcutter with 275 rigby engraved on it. they were quick and did what i asked. don't think i can ask for more.

the only "cnc" technology that eliminates chatters is EDM (grinders, too, but not the same thing)

seems to be a fair price, btw

No machining, EDM, or Grinding will completely eliminate tool marks, but it's the degree of toolmarks that can be achieved with proper speeds, feeds, and tool selection that makes the difference.
We have consistenly achieved finishes on lathes that exceed 32 and some lower than 16. These finishes are far better than what is normally seen on barrel contours prior to hand finishing or polishing.

If a guy sets up the barrel right and knows his tools and S&F's, achieving what they are claiming wouldn't be difficult.

Nice to hear from you. Everyone wants to know how your action is coming along!!!

interesting to say the least

I just emailed them asking if they could do a contoured octagonal barrel with 1/4 rib left on one flat.

i did the same... reply said "we don't do quarter ribs"

Do they offer any sort of guarantee as to barrel straitness after the machine work? I think most of us will agree that recontouring a factory contoured barrel can be an iffy thing. Yeah, they might look cool, but how do they shoot?

Was this an original barrel off the gun you had turned or was it a new barrel blank?

Also, was it a 7x57 that you renamed 275 rigby on the barrel?

I'm told they are the same caliber.
