lothar walther barrels

[Clark]

I have been putting some LW barrels on rifles, and reading LW threads on forums for 10 years.

Little has changed:
1) LW CM barrels are very good, good as any for hunting.
2) LW SS barrels are tricky to chamber, because they are hard.
3) Woody is a pain.
4) Brownells offers (5) LW CM barrels, and only the 7mm has a taper light enough to hunt.

I can probably agree with Clark.

I have decided to send my barrel out to JES re-boring. For $225 I can have a" new" barrel. Not to mention I won't have to go through the trouble of re-bedding or inletting the stock again. Not to mention it sounds like dealing with Woody is more trouble than it's worth.
