So I've been thinking about lining a barrel with a high quality (Walther maybe?) barrel liner to improve accuracy. Does anyone know if there's something of a guide for this process? I've seen the midwayusa video but it's not particularly long on details.
Have any of you done it, and if so how were your results? How difficult is it? Thanks.

Quoted:
If you want a Walther or similar quality liner, I think you'll have to make one by turning a blank. The result is not predictable, but I would bet the resulting bore diameter and shape will not improve what you have. What I have is nothing so.... 
Seriously though do you know of anyone that makes match grade .22 barrel liners? I do see your point however about making one from "scratch." |

I've had excellent luck with the Redman liners from Brownells. I haven't done any serious target shooting with any yet, nor with "match" grade ammo. But every barrel I relined shot MUCH better than it did prior. Most of which were turn of the century rifles that saw many years of blackpowder. They weren't "shot" out but rusted and pitted badly. Always accraglas'd them in. I drill from the breech and stop just short of the muzzle. I ream what's left at the muzzle so the projectiles never make contact, but the muzzle end appearance remains untouched. That to me should be the obvious way to do it, but I've seen more drilled through than not. |
