doz Posted March 27, 2019 Report Share Posted March 27, 2019 I have for sale a Sassen stainless barrel blank that I had for a project, which is no longer going ahead. It is a Remington light varmint helical fluted. 28" total length 1:8.5 twist Weight is 1.79kg / 3.1lb Diameter at chamber end is 31.61mm / 1.245" Diameter at crown is 17.65mm / 0.69" SOLD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n8ess Posted March 27, 2019 Report Share Posted March 27, 2019 I have just put a variation in for a 6.5x47 , I have a Borden Alpine in 6mmbr that I am considering re-barrelling to 6.5x47. What is the twist rate? I take you can purchase a barrel that hasn’t been chambered without it being on your ticket. Could you email me some pics please. I will pm you my email.

doz Posted March 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2019 Forgot to mention its 1:8.5 twist sorry! Yes you can buy them without ticket as it is not currently chambered to a cartridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trucraft Posted March 28, 2019 Report Share Posted March 28, 2019 Bargain for someone wanting a long 6.5 I was under the impression you still need this on a ticket regardless of chambering. I'm sure someone with more knowledge will chime in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n8ess Posted March 28, 2019 Report Share Posted March 28, 2019 Could you tell me the weight. Would taking another inch off it be detrimental in any way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazzarM1 Posted March 28, 2019 Report Share Posted March 28, 2019 not chambered no ticket needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil the 6.5X47 performs exceedingly well in short barrels. The only thing that would prevent you shortening this barrel would be the aesthetics of cutting into the fluting. But a couple of inches would be fine. My personal 6.5X47 24” and performs excellently. Do some experimenting with a ballistic app and velocity. It’s about 25fps loss per inch.

They can be taken down to around 25" or so and the first inch has to be removed anyhow. Will weigh it later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was toying with the idea of the 6.5 replacing the br & 7mm08 as my stalking is quite limited now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
