It's pretty sure G36 Barrel are less accurate than SL8 target Barrel. But a reprofiled barrel will not be less accurate than a real G36 one. I don't really shot long range like I was thinking when I have buy the gun.
Anyway If I do so I will buy a new barrel. How much they cost???
Not to be argumentative, but I believe CNADNSL8-5 may be correct on this one. When HK profiles the barrels originally,they do so in a highly regimented process that controls the alignment and temperatures. There are always some variations in the internal composition of the steel due to the hammer forged barrel making process that imparts variations in the stresses to the barrel steel. The final result is a highly accurate, match grade barrel that maintains these internal stresses in balance before it leaves the factory.
If one reprofiles a hammer forged, match grade barrel, the material that has held these internal stress in balance are removed. This allows the barrel to fall out of alignment in unforeseeable and uncontrollable ways. It would also impart additional heat stresses on the barrel could lose the barrel temper and introduce warpage which would further complicate the matter. A good smith can try to minimize these variables, but they can not be eliminated.
I would never tell another person what to do with thier own rifle, but just be aware that there may be a significant cost to the nominal wieght savings achieved.
Of the users who reprofiled their barrels in the states, many were quite vocal on how they wasted a perfectly good barrel and ended up having to replace it anyway.
The reprofiled barrels couldn't maintain any consistancy in thier groupings after reprofiling. This was due in part to how some also shortened the barrel on top of it (to attempt a C or K variant look) resulting in an incorrect barrel twist for the new length. This rendered a great barrel to be a wall hanger, essentially scrap metal.
You are correct in that a new barrel is a good choice. Enjoy.
