evil dogooder Posted November 22, 2018 Author Share Posted November 22, 2018 Yul, there isn't a barrel to reline. I have started a side line at work looking into making 73s. We have all the cnc, waterjet, laser and tools except for tools to do a barrel. Ours is limited to 12 inches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TN Mongo, SASS #61450 Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 A local shooter had a Douglas barrel installed on his Marlin 94. The gunsmith machined it into an octagonal barrel. It looks great and is very accurate. www.douglasbarrels.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garrison Joe, SASS #60708 Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Don't believe anyone is making ready-to-install 73 barrels. Several great barrel makers are available, making blanks of various profiles. Criterion barrels are a great high-end barrel, and they do a lot of OEM supply. Kreiger, Hart, Shilen, Douglas, Lilja, McGowen, Pac-Nor, Bartlein, Brux, Shaw...... Finding one at a low enough price point is probably going to be your main challenge.

It will never be a high volume thing. Just something to do on slow days. We already make parts for other gun company's. I have several great gunsmiths that are willing to help.
