New barrel
A friend of mine is looking to get his stainless 357 under lever Marlin rebarrelled.
Does anyone have any suggestion/recommendations as to who might be able to do this?
Many thanks for your help.

I would speak to Roger at rimfire magic, if he can't do it he will know who can.
Re: New barrel
Why does he want to re-barrel it, surely he hasn't shot out the barrel or has he damaged the existing barrel in some way?bewildered wrote:A friend of mine is looking to get his stainless 357 under lever Marlin rebarrelled.

If not shot out and he merely wants to have a different style of barrel I would have thought it more cost effective to sell that rifle and buy another with the barrel that he desires.

Re: New barrel
I believe that Davy at the Shooting shed may have done these.

Thanks for the suggestions.
I believe it is a damaged barrel he is trying to replace.

Re: New barrel
One of our club members had a quote for just over £600 to supply and fit a new barrel to his barrel damaged Marlin last year, and that was a blued one not a S/S barrel.bewildered wrote:Thanks for the suggestions.

Re: New barrel
Yes, I fit a few every year, always because the previous one has been damaged.
Re: New barrel
How has it been damaged?

Re: New barrel
They always have bulged or split barrels, every single one of them has come in like this, we once saw four in six weeks.
I also get asked to shorten the barrel and magazine tube from time to time, usually on 45's and invariably they are chop to 12" and screwcut to accept a sound moderator.
