It's already been rebarrelled. B2P builds barrels for smiths and he said he could turn it on a lathe and wrap it in CF.Looks like a fairly light contour on that Ruger. I doubt you're gonna lose much weigh by doing it. You could weight your barreled action and then subtract your action weight (should be able to find a weight of that action somewhere online) and figure out what your barrel weights and compare it to some carbon offerings and see what you might be able to lose.
I personally wouldn't spend much money on a factory barrel. When it's time to re-barrel look into a carbon or a deep spiral fluted sporter if your going for lightweight.
What contour is it?It's already been rebarrelled. B2P builds barrels for smiths and he said he could turn it on a lathe and wrap it in CF.
It is not fluted.Hard to tell, looks like it might be fluted? If not, flute it.
I honestly couldn't tell you. It was 7 years ago (Also I was 18 and told the smith "I want to shoot far") and can't remember what it was. I was going to call Bartlein and see if they could help me out.What contour is it?
Ebender,Has anyone used B2P to turn their stainless steel barrel and carbon wrap it? Worth it? Looking to shed some weight on a Ruger in .300 win mag.
