Call Mile High Shooting, they will take care of you. I think they get all the AINA barrels at this time.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: KYS338</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Why not have an aftermarket barrel put on by a gunsmith? </div></div>Three reasons- AINA barrels are usually available (no 6-9 month wait) usually cheaper, and usually shoot just as well if not better.
Shooting groups with my new AINA Bartlein .260 barrel yesterday, I shot two 5 shot groups in the .150"'s. This barrel is an absolute laser.
If your concern is supporting a Hide sponsor, there are multiple AI dealers that sponsor on here. If your concern is supporting the little guy, all of the AINA barrels are made by Dave Tooley, of Tooley Custom Rifles, and he is a pretty small shop in the grand scheme of things.

Barrels stamped AINA are barrel blanks made by us here at Bartlein Barrels. So the barrels are aftermarket.
AI has they're smith here in the States do all the finish work (chamber, thread, crown, finish etc.....). Who is the smith? Dave Tooley at Tooley Custom Rifles.
The barrels though to my knowledge are not available directly from Dave. I think you have to get them thru AI.

Re: AINA & New Barrels
Just to keep things clear it's not my next batch of barrels. I am currently working on some for AINA.

</div></div>Damn it, I tried, I couldn't take a good pic with one hand on the camera and the other on the calipers! But if you look at the 140 Hybrid next to the group and compare it to the hole, you can tell that my measurement is good

Holy HELL!, I wish I could steer my AI .260 like that! I clearly need to get back to the range.
