new barrel on no. 1

I'm looking to get a no. 1 rebarreled. Is there any one out there who specializes in them? I'm looking for either recomendations or someone to stay away from.
Thanks,
BL

Hi BL:

If John Lewis wasn't able to fix you up, give Eb Brown a look.

Ruger rebarreled mine. They charged $135 and that included a reblue. The new barrel is excellent with a very good chamber and it shoots one MOA.

Did you supply the barrel? And, did you have to go thru an FFl?
I have a #1V in 220 swift that has seen its last shot, throat is just burned out to bad to be accurate any more. Picked up a 25-06 bbl. and need to find someone to install it, don't have a local smith I would trust so it is going to have to travel. Having the factory do it sounds good.

Thanks for any info

Try Pac-Nor. They make excellent barrels.

KTS1,

They would only replace an existing barrel with the same caliber. Now this is what they say but if you know someone maybe you could get it changed. But they won't put on some other barrel. However they have outside gunsmiths they work with.

Having a Ruger barrel on a #1 is a plus to me as I feel it looks better and is worth more. If you send them a rifle with some fancy trigger work however you may get your trigger back in a box and a factory trigger installed.

Thanks for the replies! I've talked to a couple of them but I haven't made up my mind on who to go with yet.

Dennis Olson is a fine gunsmith. Good prices, great work, and accurate rifles. He has barreled 4 rifles for me over the years using Liljas, all have been sub-moa. A man of few words but if you listen you can learn alot.
