Sold Blaser R93 .308 Fluted Barrel

[EMcC]

I am just testing the water at the moment so please bear with me.

Just before Christmas 2015 I decided I needed a .308 barrel to supplement my .243.

When I tried to get ​one none were available in UK at the time and no more were on the production line, not the one I wanted anyway before anybody starts an argument !

So I ended up ordering one from the Blaser factory to be made and sent to me.

It was not a cheap exercise I might add but none the less after a three month wait it duly arrived.

As it was too late for the winter driven boar season I zeroed it, using six rounds, then used it over the year to shoot three Deer, so in all, it has only had a total of nine rounds put through it.

I am now thinking of going down the R8 Thumbhole stock route so am offering this, almost unused, barrel up for sale.

It cost considerably more than 1k, £1400 to be precise, so am hoping to get £850 for what is almost a new barrel.

It is a fluted. blue steel, no sights, threaded with the standard Blaser 15 x 1 spigot thread with thread protector and the magazine as delivered when new.

This is being offered at £850 or a very near offer, Don't make an offer that is going to make me cry more than I am already ;-)

Wow :-( that's me being told, welcome to the site.

 

Strange I have been a member on here for quite some time and had done so from day one, as per the rules !

 

Now I look at my avatar I see something is missing ??

 

Now sorted, something must have gone wrong your end as it was there when I started.

I don't suppose you still have the .308 barrel ?

Hi Jamie, sorry, it went to Greenfields of Salisbury last September. Not sure if he still has it but speak to Matt he is the one I dealt with.

I traded it in against an all singing dancing grade 6 walnut thumbhole stock and now cannot get on with that so the stock is up for sale on Guntrader.

I'm back to a normal sporter stock now.

 

I cannot find the method to mark this thread as SOLD.

R Macleod of Tain, have listed on their website a .308 barrel; for the R93 no mention of any fluting through. hope this helps.

I had this problem a bit back....thinking that new barrels are getting rare ,second hand are maybe not the best .I got Mike Norris to do one for me utilising the stub from a shot out barrel ....he put a brand new Bartlein on for me....could have had it fluted but never bothered....cerakoted finish and is an absolute laser
