Sent off my Mk1 Springfield sporter to my gunsmith yesterday. A friend gave me a 26 inch tapered octagon Douglas barrel blank. It will be chambered to 30-06 and installed on the MK1 action. Will post pictures when I get it back and in the stock. Always wanted a barrel like this one.
I too, like those 8siders. In my opinion, they look very nice.
A 26" tube also works good with some slow burning powders when making up your own handloads.
Good luck, DW
Good post. Look forward to progress reports. Sincerely. BruceV.
Good luck. Sounds like a fun project.

Ken,
I did that with a Krag. It looks great and is something that will probably be handed down in my family for generations.
Pictures, please!
I will post pictures as soon as I get it together. My gunsmith Mel Doyle in Pomeroy Idaho usualy gets my project back quick. Wife had a mild heart attack on Monday morning was transfered to Missoula Mt on Tuesday. Brought her home today. Doing well. Made the 12 mile trip to the hospital in a little over 6 minutes. Probably what saved her. Everyone stay healthy.
