Borden Alpine actions

[Cory porter]

Recently picked up a Borden alpine setup with AICS mags. Great custom build setup without a barrel. I’m not seeing much info on these actions

Going to go with a straight 6br, probably a standard 8 twist. Start with some 90s for fun and probably settle on a 105 class bullet

My questions is for barrels, it appears that have an odd headspace, I’m assuming there are no prefits made for them. Any advice? Just buy a blank and send it somewhere with the action?

Any good smith should be able to spin it up for you. I’d find the smith you are going to use before buying a blank, they may have one in stock already. If you need help finding one there’s many good ones out there. If you provide the state you live someone on here probably could recommend someone local.
