Pac-Nor Barrels

[Mark M.]

Looks like Pac-Nor is starting to take orders

 

[PatMiles]

Great to hear, back from the dead!

 

[Tommie]

Excellent news!

Great barrels. I got a .223 with a 1/9 twist. Send in action, they true it, chamber the barrel. Great price too. nilebartram

Great news. Please consider ordering a barrel or two from them to help them get back up and running. I've been wanting to chamber up a 6.5 Creedmoor so that's what I'll order.

Good Shooting

Pac-Nor makes great barrels. I have one that I used to shoot my smallest 20-shot group, which was 0.658".

For anyone that doesnt know they had a fire that destroyed their shop.

I’m glad they’re back up and running. Maybe the daily bulletin would do a segment on them rebuilding from the destruction.
I will be rebarreling a 223 VLS with one of their barrels soon.

 

[chop house]

hmmm, i've been contemplating a 20 - .222

jim_k,

“my smallest 20-shot group, which was 0.658".

You gotta give us more details! That’s fantastic. Me, I’d have opened it up to 1.658 with my final shot!

That was a .223 shooting moly-coated Hornady 52 gr with H4895/26.3 gr. Sorry, I looked at the pic again, and it's .680" CTC, just to be honest. WCC cases, primer Federal 205M, OAL 2.200". That's from a 28" PacNor 3-groove barrel in a Win Model 70 action.

DANG!

 

[Steve Donlon]

That took courage to get back up and running after what happened to them. My hats off to them and their crew. Looking forward to another 3 groove 30-06 barrel. Best barrel I ever shot.

For anyone that doesnt know they had a fire that destroyed their shop.

It did, but they have rebuilt and are starting over and going forward with new facilities and are back in operation.

"Back in the day" (1997), when I wanted 1:18" twist thirty caliber barrels, Chris Dichter (Sp?), PacNor HONCHO, was THE ONLY barrel maker in the USA who asked why the 18" twist, and then asked me to present my idea, as opposed to the, "there's the door, don't let it hit you in the . . . we'll never make those"(or similar comment) from everyone else!

Six weeks later, we had our first PacNor 1:18" twist, five-groove, BBLs, and the rest is history! Oh, and they're all making them now! Well, "they" mostly settled on 1:17" twist, which, for the bullet lengths used in point-blank BR, provides "off- the-chart" gyroscopic stability . . . makes me wonder why, with the conservative 1:17", they'd ever sell anyone a (marginal) 1:14" twist for use with the typically .850" long 68gr 6mm bullets . . .

Back to, "that year" ('97) - at the NBRSA Hunter Nationals, I collected my first yardage win, using a PacNor 1:15" twist 5-groove, 30x47HBR - the first of many HoF points collected with PacNor barrels. Though a great barrel, it was the last 1:15" twist barrel I used on a .30 Cal. competition BR rifle. Great to have PacNor back!RG

If RG says they are great, they are great.

I need a .35 barrel for a Whelen project. I think I'll give them a call
