If you can't find one here look at Match Grade Machine.

I've had a few of their barrels, currently a 6.5x55 swede and they are GTG.

And I got a nibble!

Nah, nothing much, other than I was wondering if it wouldn't have been considerable cheaper, if one were to purchase a 300wm reamer & GO Gauge (which are readily available - http://www.mansonreamers.com/) and go that route, as opposed to searching for a barrel..

Can usually find a used barrel in almOst new condition for the 200 to 300 range.

Ok, one can get a reamer and GO-GAUGE for about $150 delivered and you still own the tools and you didn't have to go hunting for a barrel, either.

Just a thought, here..

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you would also be looking at the cost of a barrel blank designed with the Encore hinge. Don't know how easy those would be to come by.

It would be a nice addition though, a barrel made yourself.
