I have a project that I would like to do some work on and I think I want make the barrel , a 1/2 round 1/2 octagon shape?
Its a new Shaw CM barrel unthreaded and not chambered in a .375 caliber.
Its in a heavy varmint contour and I intended to turn it down to a lighter weight but have a notion to do the octagon/round contour?
I don't think the barrel would make a totally tapered octagon contour and come in at 24". I believe it is currently at 28"?
I could thread it and turn the round part but with my imported Bench mill I don't think I want to ruin the new barrel.
I can supply measurements of the new barrel and I have a German Krupp manufactured Barrel in 8x57 that is 1/2 round 1/2 octagon I would like to mimic.
I also have a 1893 Marlin in a 26" 1/2round 1/2 octagon that is in 38-55 that is same bore as the .375 and I can supply the round and octagon sizes of .
I was just wondering if anyone is interested in doing the octagon part for me.?
Let me know,
Ron
