Shilen barrels

I have dealt with JC for my last 6 barrels. He doesn't list a 8mm bore. I will try him again.

This is a preliminary as I am seeing what is out there.

I have bought off of Jerry also. But like said I think he is retired.
For those that aren't in the, know who are these people? Very annoying when people assume they know what you mean by letters or initials, many do not, spell the companies out or or a least list their full names please.
 
Yea there are But finding a 8mm (323) barrel maker in Kanada seems to be a chore ? maybe ? Bob Jury in Alberta
You're right about that. Not only in Canada, but the US.

I tried ordering a couple of 8mm barrels for a couple of 8mm-06 AI builds, and after six months of waiting, cancelled the orders and just ordered from Europe. The barrels were here three weeks after ordering.

The reamer wasn't an issue, and had it custom made by JGS.

I would have liked to have kept that reamer, but it was bought by the fellow wanting the other rifle. I likely wouldn't have built one otherwise.

I ended up selling him the rifle I used the reamer to build for myself. Recoil became quite substantial with 200 grain bullets moving just over 2800fps.
