anyone familiar with sleeved Hall 6br barrels?

[upjeeper]

i bought a 6br in a shilen action with (what i was told is) a hall 22 inch sleeved barrel (don't know the twist rate, there are no markings on the barrel)
i'm no familiar with Hall barrels, can anyone shed some light please?

Is the barrel actually sleeved or the receiver?

 

[KMart]

Hart barrel, maybe?

How about a Hall action with a Shilen barrel?

Ok. I've clarified as it wasn't clearly communicated.
It's a rem 700 action with a Shilen sleeve on the action

The barrel itself is not sleeved.

I would have thought Hart myself as the manufacturer, but again. it seems odd there are no markings on the barrel

Sleeved actions were very common at one time.Then as custom actions became more popular they kinda died out.Dont worry it will still shoot real well providing the barrel isnt on its last legs.I would almost bet it is a 1 in 14 twist or close so you will be limited to 70 grains and lighter.The most common bullet is a berger 68 grain flat based bullet.These are match bullets.The powder would be h322,n135,and a myriad of others.I prefer h322 with a 68 grain berger at about 28.0 grains for my gun.Start alittle lower and work up a safe load in your gun.

The Shilen barrel I recently bought has the detail stamped on the face of the shank. So you cant see it while screwed into the action.

i wonder if this is the case... wow, i'd really hate to remove the barrel just to check that...

Unless you are selling it and NEED to know, all that matters is if it shoots...

Where on the face is this information that it survived the chambering & fitting operations? I buy barrel blanks, the specs are stamped into the breech face but this will get cut away when my gunsmith proceeds to fit the barrel to my action.

It's customary for the chamber at minimum to be stamped or otherwise described on a fitted barrel. Some 'smiths include twist too.

Anyway, it's relatively easy to measure twist to a fairly accurate number with a cleaning rod, tight patch on a jag, a tape measure & some masking tape.
