[ARCHIVED THREAD] - 6.8 Barrel Question

Posted: 3/27/2009 1:11:42 PM EDT

My Brother has the opportunity to buy a 6.8 Barrel, but it has a problem. When fired the ejected brass has a ring in front of the rim. Is this a major issue, can it be corrected?

Thanks

Like ejector swipes? What is the make of the barrel?

From the way it was described to me, it is the brass bulging out. Unknown brand.

No, I am getting all info second hand. Apparently the owner reloads and due to this problem can only re-size the brass one or two times.

$60 plus shipping will get the barrel set back .060 and rechambered with the DMR if there isn't a major chamber issue that prevents it. A quick inspection with the bore scope will tell the problem.
