Well, my M1 is needing a new barrel, or at least one in better condition than the one I've got on it now. I plan on getting the barrel, then sending my barreled receiver to Orion 7 to be mounted, indexed and headspaced correctly.
I'm STILL waiting for match paperwork so I can qualify for the CMP. Yes, you DO have to be qualified even to order just PARTS. BUMMER. They have SA 'match' rifles for $100. That price is RIGHT.
I need to know if there's anywhere else I can look for a decent (read, not a Kreiger, or other $500 bbl) bbl for around that price. I could go up to about $150. Don't mind if it's used, as long as the bore, crown/muzzle and throat are in decent condition. Any suggestions?
Oh, and I want to keep it in .30-06 to be JCG match legal. I'll get another M1 and rebarrel to 7.62 sometime in the future.
TIA
