I have just picked up a old Rem 40x repeater with no barrel. I raise the question about Douglas simply because I would like to bring this old action back to what it was. It is early enough that it would have come from the Custom Shop with a chrome moly barrel and not stainless. Being a old W.Va. boy, I have always known of Douglas Barrels. The reason I am asking about Douglas, I know that they offer match grade barrels in CM. Just how good are they compared to Bartlein, Krieger, Brux, Schneider and Hart.
Just wanting the top accuracy from a CM barrel that this old gun produced new. The whole barreled action will have to be blued after completed. The easy way to go would just get a SS match barrel installed, but it did not come that way back in the early 60's. CM match barrels are limited. I have searched and have heard good and bad about Douglas. Like any barrel, it could be a good barrel, or wasted money. I can't afford the wasted money route. Any thoughts on the Douglas barrels would be appreciated. Plus, being a old W.Va. boy, there is a sense of loyalty to Douglas, but I want the best accuracy for the money I have to spend. I am a working class fellow that is now retired, so the funds are limited.
Thanks in advanced,
Tom
