Canadian Barrel Maker(JC Custom Barrels)?

[hawk-i]

Does anyone have any feed back on barrels from JC Custom barrels in New-Brunswick?

Thanks

JC's barrels are cut-rifled(Krieger-Bartlein) which is superior system to button rifling and he just bought a new lathe so production is ramping up. Even Boots Obermeyer is paying attention to JC and his self-designed barrel making system.

Ron Smith
JC
Ted gaillard
Bob jury
Karl Schmidt
McLennan
I assume the guys who bought Bevan Kings equipment

And there are other guys that don't advertise.

Next barrel I need will be made by JC hopefully.

Just got an email from JC barrels and lead time for a drop in RPR barrel is only 6 weeks.

Rob McLennan sold his gear to someone I believe in AB. He originally made button rifled barrels and then cut rifled.

JC said today that he just bought 2 more lathes and is working hard.

Hi. I was the guy who introduced JC to the Ruger RPR, after seeing some of his F-Class barrels doing magical things to Bergers. I have purchased four(4) barrels in the last six months, and they are all that they're claimed to be.

They are NOT Bartlien or Krieger blanks(though he can work those too). They are hand bored, rifle cut, stainless, hand lapped pieces of hole punching goodness. He has a great practice of relieving stress in the blank by contouring before boring, ensuring a zero runout profile.

They have completely transformed my PRS rifles, and I look forward to playing with them in some F-class. It also helps that he's an honest guy with a small shop, no overhead costs, and a true love of the sport.

Have a Ron Smith barrel on mod 7 rem 300 SAUM , it is one fine shooter after having a smith fix all Remington screw ups!

Now that's pretty cool. Never seen a temperature indicator on a barrel before.
