    What happens to the mandrel once the barrel is formed?

    They spiral it out and reuse it on the next barrel.

    They make barrels in mass produced large runs. To make a custom barrel they would have to stop production, machine/harden/presumably grind a custom forging mandrel, then hold up every machine in the process running ONE barrel until it's done. They couldn't charge you enough money to make it worth their while. Something tells me you wouldn't be willing to spend the likely tens of thousands of dollars they'd lose.

    ^But I want Ford to make me one car no one else has

    Colt Canada

    CHF puts a very slight choke to the barrels, wee bit more accuracy.

    CZ products are top shelf in my view, I'm hoping that company brass will set their sights on designing and producing a rimfire rifle that rivals the high end 10/22 clone products from Kidd and Volquartsen. one can always dream I guess, thanks for the post.

    Get a Norinco NS522 I love how it looks
