Best use for Remington factory take off Barrels

[jcmullis2]

Like many, I’ve got several new factory take off barrels that I can’t bring myself to get rid of. I’ve been thinking about getting a lathe and using them to learn with. If nothing else, in case of the zombie apocalypse I was thinking a thin recoil lug and a crush washer would allow them to be headspaced on different actions. Maybe a smith could fit them all for a dedicated action. I’m looking for intelligent answers because tomato smashing and attitude adjusters are already taken lol. Thanks

Maybe.

I have a warehoue full of barrels that I think I can find a use for, but have not. Remington is not yet in that catagory

Tomato plant stakes?

I'd try to sell them or use for lathe practice.

Lathe practice
Possibly cut them to remage for universal use.

Wackin' stick.

Wackin' stick.

I already keep a 20” in my truck for such an occasion.

I’ll suggest the lathe and practice idea as well.
Someday I want to get a lathe and could definitely see the advantage of having several practice barrels to learn on

If ya happen to reload “altered” cases, such as Ackley, ream the barrel and use it to machine gun cases for fire forming...

Wind chimes

A chair, or table. You could donate them to someone for lathe practice. Pry bar or alignment rod.
