.17 cal (rimfire) barrel blank?

[NavyShooter]

Goodday all,

I'm curious, does anyone know what the cheaper option would be? Getting a .17 cal barrel blank somehow, or getting the .17 cal barrel liner from Brownells, and doing the external lathe work on a tube to put it in?

Just open for input, how much would a barrel blank in .17 cost?

Seeing as how no one is replying to your thread, here are some things to think about

Your best bet (on the cheaper end anyway) would probably be GM (green mountain) line of barrels. I am not 100% sure they make barrel blanks but they do make barrels for the 10/22 and 77/22 that could probably be fitted to other guns with a bit of work. These can be found for around $120US or so. I have a GM barrel on my Ruger 10/22 and so far I have been very impressed. Very accurate, reliable, and was a good price.

Lothar Walther makes barrel blanks for around $220 US http: //www.lothar-walther.de/html/378.php but I am not sure if you would be able to get one in Canada ?

Other than that I am not sure of any cheaper barrel blanks available. I think lilja makes one but that would cost around $450-$500 - probably a bit more than you are wanting to pay .

Regards,
Jordan

"...what the cheaper option would be?..." Buying a whole rifle chambered in .17 RF.

I have never heard of an instance where a barrel liner was as accurate as a good barrel!!

Thanks guys,

I was looking at the GM barrels...anyone know of a source in Canada? Or do I have to go through Brownells?

Thanks,
