Toots Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 Have read how difficult (and expensive) it can be to re-barrel a steyr mannlicher (pro hunter). Is this also true of getting the barrel shortened and re-threaded? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elwood Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 Have read how difficult (and expensive) it can be to re-barrel a steyr mannlicher (pro hunter). Is this also true of getting the barrel shortened and re-threaded? In a word "no" I have had two Steyr's threaded without problem or extra expense.

Ronin Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 Shortening and screw cutting wouldnt be much of a problem to anyone with a lathe and the necessary skill. A rebarrel - I may be wrong but I am under the impression the Steyr barrels are hot swaged in place this obviously makes it extremly difficult to rebarrel, although Northernchris has recently done his - may be PM him to get advice? He posted a thread about the job that looked excellent if you do a search of Chris's posts you should find it fairly easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
