Douglas Barrels

I use Weapon Works and Three Oaks for my coatings.

They both do amazing work.

If I sent them my action to chamber and install a barrel then I will need to send the action and barrel to someone for nitriding or cericoating.
Any suggestions would be useful.

If you have them install a stainless barrel you won't need to ceracote unless that's an extra step that you want. If you want a chrome moly barrel, those come "in the white". Therefore after you get it back from Douglas, you will need to blue it yourself, pay for it to be blued, or pay for coating.

When was the last time the website was updated? Cause if I can get work done on one of their barrels for even remotely that much I’d get a whole stable of them.

Edit: just requested a quote. Don’t mind me. Not trying to hi jack thread.

Back in june when i did mine, the prices were not the same as the internet showed. I don't remember exactly what they were, but price was a big part of my concern while I was shopping around. I still decided to go with Douglas after I did the math along with adding in wait times from other outfits.

I also should mention before i bought the Douglas, earlier in the year I bought a McGowan tikka prefit. I think it may have been like 50 bucks cheaper. It shoots really well, however I'm fairly certain that the chamber was cut slightly out of square. When I full length resize brass, I get tiny brass shavings that form into a brass like paste when resizing over 50 at a time. It seems to be coming from the base of the brass during FL resize. Barrel shoots great, but I don't think it was chambered to perfection.

Basically I'm of this frame of mind. Douglas will get my business for any barreled action I need a new tube for.
