I want to get my cz in 204R rebarrel Ed by them but can’t convince the Mrs lol

Barrels are not bad but I think a kreiger, brux or bartlein barrel is better and pending the time of year the wait can be excessive. I’ve cancelled a barrel because of that. Waited 3 months, only to be told it will be a couple more months. 5-6 months to get a barrel done is a little long

I’d be interested in trying out a Pacnor. I don’t hear much about them other than some score benchrest shooters

Anyone have experience with 22 rimfire barrels. Polygon ? Thanks

Have you ordered a Kreiger or Bart lately?

 

[L.Sherm]

I've got 4 - 20 cal 3G-11 and have zero complaints

When I talked to Kreiger, they were 14 months out. That was a month ago.

A good PacNor is as good as a good(insert name).
I've had several and have always felt that they are right up there with the other top end barrels. Group or score matters not. Try one and report back, if ya wanna know. Testing is how we know stuff. It's not what we read on the internet

I have had several Pac-nor barrels over the years and they are among the very "best of the best " in my book. And, very important to me personally, is that they 100% stand behind their product. I would not hesitate to buy another.

I have one on my service rifle and one on a 700 that they installed in 6.5-350 Remington magnum. Both shoot great.

Sheet, Krieger is out over 12 months if you order from them

Yes, everything hit a miss. Chris on this site had both kreiger and bartliens available and shipped fast. Had barrel within week. Just ordered another brux barrel from bugholes which ships in 24-48hrs. All three, rifle cut barrels. Seen other people with barrels for sale on this site quite frequently but Ive only been looking for 6mm.. Check bugholes, they had various brux barrels available in stock. They come and go. Kreiger had quite a few out a few months ago but people buy them up fast, popular size and calibers often gone in less than a week. If you have a local gun smith that does quality work and a 12 pack of beer you just might have a new barrel and chambered within a few weeks, especially if you own your own reamer

Ps, I never said pacnor was bad. I have plenty of good barrels from them as I live close and just drive to their shop. I just felt the wait was too long for me and went another direction. You just need to be creative and nice and you can make things happen

 

[L.Sherm]

Well thats fine if Bugholes or somebody has what twist, caliber or conture you want i do the samething but if they don't your waiting about a year.
Ordering and just going on a website and picking out a barrel in stock is two different things.

I agree. I have ordered from him multiple times. It's great, as long as he has what you want.

I ordered a LV taper for a Kelbly Polar action in order to make 13.5 lb HV class. I had it in about 10 weeks. Years ago, I mean 25 or so, a bunch of us used to order 10 or so barrels from Lilja. They advertised 8 weeks way back then and generally delivered on or about that time frame from date of order.

Well funny since I last posted in June I sent my cz527 in 204R to pac Nor.
I just got it back yesterday they cambered it and matched my varmint barrel profile so would fit in it stock. They also threaded it and the cap is blended so well can’t even tell it is. I also ordered the knurled cap since I could not decide which one to go with. Was going to post about it but here you go

Fern
You went with the .204 again? What twist?
Was you other barrel used up ? How many rounds ?

Hurry up and shoot it and let us know how it shoots .
