Use them to make bedding pillars

I give mine to the varmint shooters. It will still cost them a re-chamber job to clear the fire checking. Most of the time i cannot give them away. All 13 1/2, 237 Kreigers L V contour

Cut them up and make pillars, seating dies etc.

I have a friend in Australia who shoots mostly F Class.
He has a friend there that goes out of his way to buy cast off premium barrels, he sets them back, re-crowns them and touches up the rifling with polish (not too much!). Then he goes to matches and beats the previous owner with his old (junk) barrel!

You can afford to cut 2 inches off an F-Class barrel, and a little 320 Lapping compound will bring it back to a competitive level. You need to treat it like it's new and break it back in. I shoot moly to break them in with about 5 rounds. They have a tendency of not copper fouling.

Fireform barrels!!!!

If they are big enough diameter I might make some tunners out of them

How about radial port muzzle brakes?

I just sell my take off barrels for $50, plus $15 shipping. I save the boxes my new barrels come in, and ship the take offs in them.

I plan to use mine as practice barrels when I get my lathe. Just got a new place that'll have room for one. Once I get good at chambering I'll use them for something, probably start with making my own seater. One of the nicest seater I have Preacher here made it for me out of an old barrel. That's the plan as of now anyway.

My old shop had barrels for rebar. Judging by what people pay for them i could have paid for the shop
