jeffo223 Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 I will be re barrelling my 223 very soon. I may be getting a border barrel but was wondering if anyone had any other recommendations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherlock Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 Had good experiences with Pacnor and Shillen... Obviously they seem to be like rockin horse manure at the moment. Both Lother Walther and Bergarra make good tubes at good prices and availability seems much better. I'm having a LW fitted at moment. Good luck with choice S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srvet Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 I have no complaints with Border or Bartlein. Hope my next barrel (LW) will live up to these predecessors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brummy Mark Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 I have a Lilja 1:7 twist, awesome accuracy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldie Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 I have Border, Pacnor, Bergara , and shilen in .224 cal in stock at the moment. No one makes a bad barrel these days really. Go with what you can get. A more important factor is getting the twist rate and chamber type right for what you want to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffo223 Posted October 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 Thanks for the info chaps. I'll stick with the border barrel I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattnall Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 I've some bad experiences with fast twist LW barrels. Have you considered Armalon barrels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradders Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 I've some bad experiences with fast twist LW barrels. Have you considered Armalon barrels? Not a cool/posh enough name for the masses on here. It has to be a lot cooler/foreign than what is already available here. Fact, if it isn't good enough for F class then it isn't good enough Never mind the fact that Mr Sarony is a better engineer and gun plumber than most on here, he doesn't have the cool factor, so some t...wat from buttf...uckl WI has garnered a name for himself cos his barrel once won a local 100yd match on a Sunday in April when the wind was blowing right says it all. Buy foreign every time, British products suck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldie Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 Yep, One I forgot from my list for no reason Mark. I,ve just finished the last 5 chrome moly barrels from Peter and will definatly have some more, they are excellent quality and the bore finish has to be seen to be believed. His turnaround rate is a whole lot faster than anywhere else too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Al Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 Can I ask what you would typically pay for a decent .224 barrel and then the associated fitting costs? Would prices differ much for .172 or .204 cal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soother223 Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 Got a border on my ppc and tru flight on my 243, can't fault either! Like baldie says twist is the thing!1-9 or 1-8 should spit pretty much anything you want... I'm into heavy bullets with good bc! Velocity doesn't really concern me... I did have a bad experience with a lother barrel tho.. Might just have been unlucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunner Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 I've some bad experiences with fast twist LW barrels. Have you considered Armalon barrels? Hmm , me too , i dont wanna slag off walther . But my 8 twist was rubbish , my std remmy was more accurate than the custom walther , iv now got a krieger which is superb .

Re-Pete Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 Walther will send you prices if you enquire through their website. I have one in 6BR that's been around the galaxy, and it still shoots 1/2 MOA. H/man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldie Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 Walther will now only supply RFD,s and businesses, I set an account up with them earlier this month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeroz Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 Well my 2 LWs in 6mm & 30 cal are just fine. I'd have no hesitation having another one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
