I've got an oddball project coming up, and I'll be in need of a custom barrel blank. It needs to be at least 1.75" in diameter (1.875 would be better). Bore is .311 (7.65mm), 1:10". Chambered for 7.62x54R would be a plus, but I can always do that myself. Shilen makes a blank nearly perfect, but can only go up to 1.5" diameter. I've seen large diameter barrels before on custom projects, so I know it can be done; just gotta find someone to do it.

Anybody know of a good source?

I'd contact Van Horn, if anyone would know where to find a barrel like that they would. I haven't seen any .311" barrels available in anything over 1.5", its just a lot of extra barrel material that 99.999999% of buyers would simply need to machine off anyways.

I would look into e.r. Shaw as well they will pretty much build anything to your specs.

If Dave can't do it, I just got an email back from Lilja saying that they can do it.

Pac-Nor can also set you up with a good pipe at a good price

Van Horn does not make .311 barrels, not much demand. The Large diameter blank would not be an issue and could be done
I work for him.

What is your project that requires such a large blank? I am sure others want to know too.

Not my pics, but it's the fluted style; the SGMT Goryunov.
