small ring mauser barrels?

[mtnsmith]

does any one know where I can get a "NEW" barrel for my small ring Mauser? I am looking for one that is short chambered for .308, threaded but in the white, I will put a finish on it myself.

I have looked every where I can think of with no luck..

Thanks

Who certainly can do it, and probably will - for a price!

Thanks Patrick but I would like to keep it in this country.. I can only Imagine what one of their barrels would cost...

You might consider a Norwegian 7.62mm barrel. Large ring, but almost good gunsmith can turn it into a small ring barrel. Cole's Dist has them at $99.99.

Smith,

I don't think there's any such thing as a cheap, good barrel unless it's milsurp. Bite the bullet, find a good 'smith, and have him turn a Douglas blank for you. Should still be less than $300.

Good luck.
