This a new, unfired Wilson barrel chambered in 280AI and profiled for a Model 70 Featherweight. $300 shipped.
The back story is this... I chambered this for a client, but we discovered after the job that the receiver had been severely tweaked -- as in so out-of-square that the barrel wouldn't lock up against the receiver face. He left town about four years ago and has never paid the bill or picked up up his rifle. I'll probably hang on to his rifle, but I'll sell the new barrel to get my money out of it.
Because the receiver this barrel was fitted to turned out to be bent, it would definitely be a good idea to verify the head spacing. I'd be happy to do the service for you -- you'd have to ship me your receiver or barreled action.

P.S. I've got a good supply of new 280AI Nosler brass -- I'd part with a box (50pc) for $75 if that will help you make the decision.
