Spinning up a Remage barrel?

[Emmett Dibble]

I have a really nice contoured blank from K&P I’d like spun up into a Remage barrel. Anyone know a smith that will do that?

K&P is a top quality barrel, Nice Choice!
What caliber are you wanting chambered?

 

[Emmett Dibble]

It’s a #4 contour for another HP Silhouette gun. 6mm 8TW, will finish at 26”. Will chamber in 6x45. I like mouse guns.

I don't have that reamer, but can do it for you if you provide the reamer
or if you want to rent one.
1 month turn around
Send barrel and barrel nut only

The gentleman Jackie recommended is local, let me see what he says first. Appreciate the reply.

Absolutely, I'd go local first
Pm me if the wait is too long and you're still interested

Are you profiling this barrel for a nutted setup because you want to be able to use it on different receivers?

 

[Emmett Dibble]

Barrel is already turned to a #4 profile. Most of my guns are Remage because it’s quick and easy.

The shank diameter and the beginning of the taper still need to be turned down to the major thread diameter for a Rem receiver for a nutted barrel, not a big deal. I was just curious as to why you're opting to go nutted over a shouldered barrel given that you're having a smith work from a blank.

Makes switch barreling easy
Plus you can send the barrel only off without the hassle of sending off your serialized receiver
The customer can then headspace himself according to his own brass/Go gauges etc

 

[Emmett Dibble]

^^^ that… personal preference.

I don't find switching shouldered barrels to be any more difficult than nutted ones, mill a couple of flats at the muzzle end for a wrench to spin it off and a witness mark to index it.. "Downside" is obvious in that it's headspaced only for that rifle.

As he said, all about personal preference

I have that 6x45 reamer. I have the barrel nut in stock. I will crack 500 nutted barrels made by the end of this year since I started making them. So, I've made a few.

What is your bore diameter on that barrel?

Loctite the nut and you don't have to headspace it again. Hit the nut with some heat and remove it to headspace to something else.

Shouldered barrels are certainly easier to swap but before I started doing my own barrels everything I ran had a barrel nut.

 

[jelenko]

Also, my understanding is prefit shouldered barrels cost more [by a lot] than remage ones.

Shouldered barrels are fast to install for sure. Of course, like I said you can put a bit of blue loctite on the the very last thread of the nut and once headspaced you have a shouldered barrel.

Funny, my wife and I shoot Kaugers, as do my friends, and Lauren's sons, and I could make shouldered barrels but all of our rifles have the nut. In case I want to change it over to another project rifle that's not a Kauger. Or sell it after testing.
