I'm interested in the 24" 1:8 twist 260 barrel. Is the plan still to offer these in SS 5R? Do we order directly from you?

do you mean barreled actions or JUST BARRELS are for sale?

Re: AAC BLACKOUT rifle - should we do .260 Rem?
I still think there should be a cheap 260. Basically the same as the AAC 308 we have now but a 260 with a longer barrel.
Plain matte finish, fast twist, hogue stock.

Not to sound dense, but does this mean you are postponing the .260 rifle that is being discussed in this thread and just selling the barrels? Or are you stating that barrels are becoming available but the rifles are still coming, just at a later date?
For myself I am wanting a very accurate .260 rifle without going custom. I want the best barrel I can get, and it sounds like yours is going to be VERY nice, but I don't want to build it or have it built. I agree that the barrel & chamber need to be done "right" from the start and I can deal with other stuff as I see the need: stock, trigger, bolt knob, etc.
So here's to hoping that the .260 is still coming as a complete rifle. I would buy one for $1000 tomorrow and if it is between $1000 & $1500 I would have one within a few months.

Re: AAC BLACKOUT rifle - should we do .260 Rem?
Well I am not Mr. Silvers but I did call to try and get someting ordered and this is what the guy pretty much said..
The 260 parts in the system dont even have a part number or a price so he cant sell anything for it yet. He guessed at the price for the barrel with thread protector ONLY to be around $400 like the .308s. There was a part number for a .260 rifle but that could be the demo rifle shown in the pics here and not neccesarily going into production as a complete rifle.
SOO if its just a barrel?? I can have a Rock barrel installed, threadded, custom chamber reamed, for only $125 more than the cost of this barrel alone.. On the other hand, if its atleast a barrel on an action... thats worth buying.. save the hassle of going through the gunsmith for a week wait time..

Re: AAC BLACKOUT rifle - should we do .260 Rem?
$400 barrel on $400 action.... You got a remmy 700 in .260 for $800 minus stock/trigger Come on rsilvers make it happen.. or sell me the demo... that would work too

Re: AAC BLACKOUT rifle - should we do .260 Rem?
There is a part number for the 260 barrel. It is in their computer. They just need to search for "260" It includes the thread protector.
Please call again, and don't let them tell you no.

Our barrels are threaded to the published AAC thread specs and nitrided. The barrels should last longer than chrome lined. They are black.
Due to the nitrided chamber, they are long-chambered, and you headspace by grinding the recoil lug. For this reason, it expects a recoil lug the thickness of a Remington lug.
It is just a barrel and thread protector - no action is included in the $400.

Re: AAC BLACKOUT rifle - should we do .260 Rem?
Correct, I don't think the 308 and 260 rifles are going to happen. We are doing a 300 AAC BLACKOUT Model-7 - that is it for bolt action rifles. We are selling 308 and 260 nitrided barrels though.

Re: AAC BLACKOUT rifle - should we do .260 Rem?
Just realize that you can buy a Rem 700 SPS Varmint in 308 for $600, put a 260 barrel on it for $500 and have a 260 THAT way. Although it's time consuming, not like buying off the self, but you get the chamber dimensions YOU want that way so maybe they offset.

The 300 BLK barrels for the Rem 700/Model-7 are available. They are 16", 1:8 twist, Nitride finish, threaded 5/8-24 and come as pictured with thread protector. Retail is $400.
Medium Contour is P/N 101273
Light Contour is P/N 101815
For now, call up Mike Mers or John Hollister at 770-925-9988 to order.
The 18 inch 1:8 twist 308 barrel is part number 101274. $400. These are 5/8-24 threaded and nitrided black. 1:8 is the new 1:10.
I don't have a 260 part number yet. The barrels are at AAC but not yet nitrided.

Re: AAC BLACKOUT rifle - should we do .260 Rem?
Interested in the .260 barrels for sure. Who is doing the nitriding? Are these button-rifled barrels?

Re: AAC BLACKOUT rifle - should we do .260 Rem?
I was holding off on a complete new build 'cause I was hoping a decent 260 rifle (w/ threads) for less than 1500 clams would eventually materialize.
Now that it won't happen, I'm just sad. I'll have to put this gun together myself, and at a much higher cost. Damn.

Re: AAC BLACKOUT rifle - should we do .260 Rem?
Well the barrel is pre-threaded and that will help. And when they are in stock, that will greatly shorten the lead-time on a custom barrel.
As for complete rifles, we are only doing Model-7s in 300 AAC BLACKOUT.

Re: AAC BLACKOUT rifle - should we do .260 Rem?
AAC won't be making any other configuration of 260 barrel other than 24 inch and 5/8-24 threading with black nitriding. These are made in batches of 100 at a time and are all the same. To order call 770.925.9988. They will say they are out of stock. All that means is that they are not assembled. Assembly means the thread-protector needs to be screwed on. They are in the building. They will be on the website in about a week.

Re: AAC BLACKOUT rifle - should we do .260 Rem?
It is full diameter for about 2 inches (to allow a barrel vise to grab it). The final 3 inches is 0.750 and threaded 5/8-24 (to allow an over-the-barrel silencer). Then there is a straight taper between those two points. 24 inches long. I will post a photo today.

Just a guess but I'd say Rock blanks done by rock or Noveske blanks done by Noveske.

Re: AAC BLACKOUT rifle - should we do .260 Rem?
Too heavy. I'm sure most others will be cool with it, I just don't see carrying a 5+ lb tube when a 3-4 lb tube will do everything that needs to be done with a smaller-caliber bolt gun. A fluted Lilja #5 contour in .260 finished at 24" will come in right at 3lbs (or a hair under if you shorten the shank). That's plenty heavy in contour.
Just my opinion and personal preference.

Re: AAC BLACKOUT rifle - should we do .260 Rem?
As with profile, some people wanted 26 inch, others liked 24 inch. Some wanted shorter.
Just for comparison, top image is a Remington 700 AAC-SD in an AICS with an AAC 260 barrel. The bottom is an AI AWP with an AI 260 barrel threaded 3/4-24.
I am pretty against fluted barrels.
