    MCgowen Barrels

    Pricing out a potential build in 6.5x55. Want to use an old Military action. Hardest part will be the barrel. I would like to use a Springfield M1903 Action. I Understand McGowan offers a custom Barrel service. Would you be able to order a Barrel threaded for the M1903 Action?

    If Not, plan B is to use a Swedish mauser 96 Action. Would you be able to bring in one of those?

    Thanks.

    just when though this a few years back ,not worth altering a old military action by the time you spend to have the smith play around and make it fit it would have been cheaper to buy a rem 700 action and bolt on the barrel

    Send me a PM or Email.

    Certainly can be done but will cost some

    There are still gunsmiths that will install barrels on these old gems. But either way, it will be similar cost wise then any other custom build.
