Hi to all! In my initial research, I see it is possible, but maybe not practical? Well, I have too much work in this barrel to quit now. And after searching the available sources, it is too expensive to farm out... Cheapest site I visited listed somewhere in the vicinity of $400.00 to do it? That's the bad part... Now for the good! It would seem that some brave souls have sleeved 9MM barrels down to .30 Luger, mostly in the form of a Beretta 92, and have had excellent results, also, Walther has sleeved their P1's for decades and if it is a problem for them, I've not been made aware? The P1 barrels are press fit without adhesive, I'm going to go slip fit, .0015" to .0020" over the liner dia.? With a high strength gap filling Loctite adhesive. I think it will work out fine? We're going to see, as I'm going to order some Green Mountain .308 1/10" raw barrel blanks early next week.. The steal is 41v50 which I'm guessing is a step up from 4140 which has been used for a lot of factory AR barrels in the past... Wish me luck! My accountant has assured me that again, I can't possible recover my cost or make a profit on the project,
so I replied, perfect! And we go forward, again... best to all, til...lat'r....GT..
BTW, I can get 1/11.5" twist, or 1/7" twist? Which would be the best? Anybody have any experience with any of the above…???
