Catch-22 Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 What?? That's odd...they do long barrelled rifles...like 30" length. Odd?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longer is sometimes easier than shorter, but there’s always a way A longer barrel can fit all the way through the headstock, so you can put a spider on the breech end or receiver and clock both ends, failing that you would have to run it between centres if your bed is long enough Some Gunplumbers only know one way and stick rigidly to that, some like meself are flexible and will always try and find another way I am lucky enough to have a Truebore Alignment System with a Chuck on a gimble, but even then clamping a tapered barrel securely can be challenging Still, it can be done Dave T has already mentioned Steve Bowers at Specialist Rifle Services and he’s excellent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunner Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 Steve is one of the best , he sorted my friends barrel after it had been to said place - he put it right and sometimes can do it while you wait . But phone in advance --,, --he's not just a gunsmith ! specialist rifle services . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that the barrel was fitted back through the headstock as Bradders suggests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catch-22 Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 As Bradders notes, longer is easier than shorter. Too short and they've got to start playing around with the chuck position etc, which all takes lots of time...probably makes the job not worth the time and effort for the cost.
