Need some help, trying to piece together a custom build and am wondering if anyone has a lead on where to find a 1:8 twist, MTU contour (or similar) ? ... preferably w/o a 4-6 month wait

if this should be in gunsmithing forum, feel free to move.

I will second the Brux call, they will get you a great barrel in minimal time. I shoot 6.5 mm 1-8" Brux barrels on my F-class rig, the only problem is any misses I have I can not blame on the gun only the nut on the trigger.

Try Brunos Shooter Supply. If you cant find an MTU look for a #17 HV Krieger, it's almost the twinkie to an MTU, very, very close.
