Mark Stratton does great work, saw a bunch at a show recently. he also keeps pretty good inventory of Shilen barrels from what I hear, so youmight have less of a wait time as well.

Blue,

the Guildn's guide to member's and their services has an "in memory" on his page, with the last year listed as 2000. I am not sure if this means he has passed on, or is just retired. Didn't know him personally so don't know for sure.

Is John Pell still in business?

Jim Baiar is working on it. I don't know if he is offering them yet.

Hey Blue and Red,

John Pell passed away I think it was 2001. The last time I saw him was the Rocky Mountain Elk Show in Denver.

Lilja lists them as a "semi-standard" item, i.e. listed with a standard mark-up over a regular barrel. The Lilja website also lists a conversion factor to calculate diameter across the flats from a round barrel.

Montana Rifleman does a great job, I had them rebarrel a stainless Winchester Classic Model 70 in .375 H&H to 458 Lott in an octagon barrel and was very happy with the result.
