Source for ruined 22" M14 barrel

[Claven2]

Anyone know where I might look for a ruined M14 22" barrel? Chinese or USGI or commerical, doesn't matter. It just needs intact splines and external threads at the muzzle and gas cylinder.

It's going to get cut into segments to build a new FS reaming jig for the lathe and a gas system unitizing mandrel for the millimg machine.

I don’t know about “ruined”.... but excess to needs I can maybe help ya out.

I do have a 18.5” barrel that’s pooched, someone drilled through the barrel when removing the set-screw, and I’m sure I have a few barrel Stubbs from shortening barrels in the scrap bin....

Dlask shortens barrels as well. Could ask them if they have any offcuts.

John that would be great if you can assist! PM me and let me know what you need for the bit if that's OK? Basically just want to make a FS mandrel for reaming and a gas system jig for unitizing jobs. It's easier to start with an old ruined barrel than to machine virgin steel.
