Wilson barrel blanks?

[G Liles]

I was just giving you a hard time. Lol! But I really didn't know how far. Thanks!

By the way this was with a stock model 12 savage action.

I have 3 wilson barrels, 6.5 CM and 6 CM. On the 6mm barrel I shot it out after 1300 rounds and bought another one and had it chambered. Still shoots 6" groups at 1000 yds.

Took the one I shot out and had it cut, rechambered in 6mm CM and recrowned.

Have it ready for when the barrel I am using now gets shot out.

Nothing wrong with them.

I have a Wilson bbl on an AR in 223 that shoots 1/2 moa and usually better at 500 yds.

Wow looks like I will be buying a Wilson to try on this rifle. It is just a old Mauser action that I would like to redo because it was my grandads gun. Would use it for deer and coyote hunting. Thanks for the info.

Good choice. I think you'll be happy regardless of the price. They're just a very good hunting rifle bbl and if you're lucky, even better than that. Lesser expensive barrels and they are machine lapped, likely have a bit higher rate of bbls that aren't their best work, but I'll refrain from calling those bbls bad or defective..just not as good as others. Probably because hand lapped bbls get that last step that can also be a quality control step. Still, I don't think you can go wrong with them for the price and the fact that a hunting rifle presents other issues to all out accuracy that are typically a lot more important than the actual difference between them and a top shelf bbl brand. Good value and on a hunting or varmint rifle, the end result is usually going to be indiscernible.

I think that if you actually knew their manufacturing process you might find that Wilson has as much or more quality checks than companies that make barrels that cost significantly more.

They also have really high quality steel and have been using the same mill for decades.

Cooper uses Wilson bbls. Ive a couple of those that are 1/4” guns at 100 yds.

I tell people that I hesiate to say my Wilson barrels will hang with pretty much anything... At least out loud.

I'll just keeping making barrels and let them do the talking.

I am exceedingly happy with my Urbanrifleman Wilson barrels.

Id buy a lot more wilsons if i had a better choice on contours and twists readily available. I like em for most applications

I have 2, the last in a 243 9 twist on a hunting rifle, just loaded up 10 to deer hunt with AA4350 seated a 85grain Game kings to fit mag.box shot 2 - 3 shot 1/2 inch. groups ! The are worth the money especially on a hunting rifle !

Wilson is all I ran in my High Power Service Rifle days. They print amazing groups off the rest but I never could get a group that tiny offhand. (Probably had nothing to do with the barrel though!)

 

[NorCalMikie]

Was told Wilson barrels were CRAP because they wern't lapped??
Was thinking about another Wildcat build and didn't want to spend big $$$ on a barrel and chambering and not like the finished product.
Got turned on to a couple of "gunsmith" barrels (Wilson) for sale.
Bid on both but could only snag one. (at a KILLER price!!)
Shipped it out, had it threaded and chambered. Turned out to be a BUG HOLE maker!!
Wilson, Douglas and a few other brands have been around for a loooong time but if they're not on THE LIST, they're not considered. How many rifles have been built or re barreled with barrels NOT ON THE LIST??

If you want to be supplied with blanks let me know. But you have to buy a few at a time.

I looked on your website. Do you sell single blanks to people or just prefits?

I sell blanks if I have them. It doesn't make any kind of financial sense for me to try to sell blanks as a business. There's no real markup in them, they're very heavy, they take up a lot of space, they cost a lot of money to have a bunch of inventory. There are people out there with much deeper pockets than I have that can stock $100,000 in barrel blanks.
