Barrel stamp kit

[Ironworker]

My rifles with custom bbls that need their caliber stamped on. Does anyone have a tried-and-true stamp kit they recommend?

DO NOT Stamp your Barrels! You will introduce stress into the barrel!
Find someone with an engraver of some kind.

Engraving or Laser edging is better.

A little saltwater, 12v power source, a template and a little shop made thingy that'll hold a felt pad soaked in the saltwater is all you need to etch your own barrels.

Or you can just buy a set of stamps and stamp the barrel. I've been shooting rifles for 65 years and can't guess at how many I've owned or how many I've built in that time. Virtually every one of them has had the caliber stamped on the barrel.
In the last 40 years, BR aggregates have gotten smaller. There are many reasons for this, mostly related to the shooter's abilities. I feel safe in saying that one thing which has probably not played part, is that people quit stamping their barrels. Now, I would recommend against stamping the Lord's prayer on your barrel but "6 PPC 2026" isn't likely to have a serious effect on performance.
Having said this, there is kind of a knack to it, unless you use a jig. I will also confess, I like the look of etching. WH

Was doing that with a simple power supply and stencil tape from a dot matrix printer. Now I have a drag engraver. Time for a LASER…
