.308 win conversion

[Chief]

Time to use the new forum for what it does best, answer questions. Who do you folks recommend for a .308 Win conversion. I need a barrel and maybe a refinish.

Sir, what'll the gun be used for? Casual shooting, field use, and match shooting all have different requirements that will, to a certain extent, affect your choices.

FWIW, I had Krieger (Home) rebarrel a clapped-out Greek rack grade with a heavy .308 1:11 barrel for match use. Nice work resulting in a very accurate gun, but expensive. I don't think they do any refinishing.

Hope this helps, and Semper Fi.

You may want to talk to our own MGST Gus Fisher.

Potential problems with new Garand

New problems with my Garand guy rifle.

Try Springfield Armory. They have a very resonable rebarrel/repark package, call their customer service line.

They can do new barrels from mil spec to match grade depending on your budget. Two years ago, I had two 308's done and they both run great.

Ron,
The rifle will be used mostly for casual shooting. I have the odd receiver and parts but no barrel and thought I need something different.
Nubber,
Has anyone heard from Gus since the move?
Hugo,
Thanks for the intel.
