so you think you can buy a piece of steel "off the rack" that you can use for a barrel? ret5hd Oct 2012 #28

Yeah...? Glaug-Eldare Oct 2012 #29

OH! You mean buy a piece of steel and machine it into a gun barrel ret5hd Oct 2012 #30

Machine your own? Why, when there are litterally dozens of manufacturers out there...... PavePusher Oct 2012 #38

It could also be used to produce molds for the "lost wax" method. oneshooter Oct 2012 #36

how many rounds do you think a "molded" gun barrel would last? ret5hd Oct 2012 #37
