I've looked all through their site and can't find the price of these barrels or cartridges offered. I'm looking for a 7x57.Does anybody have recent info. Thanks.

Are you referring to their #720 LR barrels?
These are listed on their site and are quite a bargain.

Thanks, I'll look again

This is all I can find?

No reference to price or cartridges?

For some reason I have found their site a bit difficult also.

Try this on their site:
Rifle barrel products
then
Finished barrels
then
Mauser 98 sporting contours

That's the correct addy.

Click on the barrel you want.

For example, a 720 in 7x57 is $219

Thanks, got it.

I had a client order one from Mauser Express in 30-06. I fitted it to a rifle I made for him and shot under an inch with standard green box Remington ammo. They sure look to be well made barrels. That was under a year ago and if I remember correctly, he got the barrel cheaper than if he went strait to Lother-Walther.

Currently for the same barrel:
L-W $219
Sporter Express $224

Call Lothar Walther. They inventory some barrels but several others will have a lead time. I hung an Article 724 6.5 Swede barrel on a Yugo Mauser a couple years ago and love it. Cost me $200 and GO gauge for my gunsmith friend.

Lothar Walther is top notch stuff.

They are definately one hell of a good buy.

thanks for the lead here..I saw some real interesting and attractive prices on some of their barrels, particularly for the Mauser..

they had a 6.5 x 57 barrel listed, which is my favorite cartridge and very hard to find..

also interesting was a 308 barrel about 28 inches, with a weighted end like they use in those running boar competitions..

I do wish they had a #1 or 2 type contour. I'm building a rifle for a future sister in law and would like a slimmer barrel. I have a Lothar 8x57 on hand and like the cartridge but it's sorta of heavy for the intended purpose. I might save it for me and use a Douglas I have for her rifle. In any case the prices for the Lothar pre-fits are attractive and I only hear good things.

Dempsey, Montana Rifleman has barrels on sale right now for ALOT cheaper.

their barrels are an excellent value for the money.

Looks like that ship may have sailed.
