barrel identification help please

[twoodard]

so I have the known Krieger 8 twist 6mm barrel. right now it measures out at 15 15/16 in length (handgun barrel on my striker)

muzzle is .964"
1.084" at close to 6" from breech.
I would like to find out the contour as close as possible. im thinking its a heavy varmint but not entirely sure.
there is no ID numbers on the breech face so it must have been turned slightly. I like how this barrel fit, feels, handles and shoots. I have another action that is going to get a 7mm bore and I would like to match or at least get very close to the same dimensions.

any help would be great. thanks
Tyler

Your best bet would be to carefully measure it every 2 inches or so and relate that to whom ever you choose to make your new barrel, and that will put it really close to what you have.....

All the prominent barrel manufacturers have detailed contour information on their sites.

Contours will vary a little by maker, do what Preacher suggested and compare your measurements to available contours. Work with your gunsmith and I am sure you will get what you want.

ill do that, like I said just like to get it close. I contacted Krieger and they could not help identify it. oh well thanks guys

I tried a few parameters in a Pro/E barrel model that I use for weight estimation. You did not mention the diameter just forward of the recoil lug, but I assumed that it was 1.20" based on the supplied data. Judging from the model, the closest match that Krieger offers is the #7 Light Target. It is almost certainly not a Heavy Varmint.

its on a savage so the breech was turned stright for so long to use the barrel nut. thanks for the info tho ill look it up
