Who makes the best? I am looking for a 9.3x62 barrel for a M98. Thanks, Brian "If you can't go all out, don't go..." | ||

How about this - affordable (under $250) and accurate (MOA). Am I asking for too much here? I honestly don't know. I have a gun coming in sometime this week which is going to be rebarreled and etc, etc, etc. I am just trying to find components that won't break the bank, but that work. I am also thinking of going with a Boyds trigger. Any experience with these? Thanks, Brian "If you can't go all out, don't go..." | |||

A lot of the blanks are close to that price range, but they are blanks. Midway had them for $290 from Kreiger and $140 from Douglas. If you go to IT&D web site, you can get the whole thing done very reasonably, including the barrel.

Douglas has them for around $285.00 for short chambered, threaded and cut to lenght. The only easy day is yesterday! | |||

Last I checked ITD would supply, install and blue a douglas on a 98 for around $270 total. I have one I will be sending to them in the next month. http://www.itdcustomgun.com/ I have Boyds triggers on at least 2 M98s. They work fine and adjust well. Only issue I've had with them is the safety lever sticks out to far. I've ended up reforming and shortening mine. As usual just my $.02 Paul K | |||

So it really doesn't matter which one I choose, they are all about the same accuracy wise? Good enough, now I guess I just pick one and go. Thanks for all the responses. Brian "If you can't go all out, don't go..." | |||

You are asking for MOA or better hunting accuracy from a 9.3X62. In a hunting rifle I have never had a Douglas or any of the other normal names fail. As usual just my $.02 Paul K | |||

I got my blank from Shilen.....about $200....and a very good product.

Thanks for the patience guys. I am just ignorant where aftermarket parts are concerned and am trying to get an education with this Mauser project. If the 9.3 goes well, a 30-06 will be next. Thanks again, Brian "If you can't go all out, don't go..." | |||

My borescope says Lilja makes the best barrels but my targets don't always tell me the same thing. I think you'll be satisfied with any of the suggestions so far within the price range you indicated. I usually buy Douglas but Shilen and Walther work just as well for me. John Farner If you haven't, please join the NRA! | |||

Krieger makes 9.3 caliber barrels and that is what I've got on my M98. _________________________________ AR, where the hopeless, hysterical hypochondriacs of history become the nattering nabobs of negativisim. | |||

tnekkcc- What kind of barrel is on that weapon you are shooting? The only easy day is yesterday! | |||

That is a "Hoser" barrel on my BS cannon. The earth is always getting warmer or colder, and I want to make money whenever it is getting warmer. So with magnum loads of BS, I take aim at the microphones and bagged my limit of susceptible minds. | |||

Called Lothar Walther. $350 for a 22 inch sporter weight barrel, becuase it is a "custom" job. 23.6 inch barrel is only $219. Am I missing something here? I figured since they were getting to keep 1.6 inches of barrel material it should be cheaper? I guess I need to call a smith and see what they would charge me to lop off that extra 1.6 and recrown. Thanks guys, Brian "If you can't go all out, don't go..." | |||
