Yes. Shouldered pre fit. Don’t know how it was threaded and chambered long action the 1st time. Even stated short action on the order.Is that a prefit for a Bighorn?
Shoots just as good as my other custom barrels. Even shoots my Berger 140 load that all my creeds like!!

Post your build when done ! If yo u look back a few pages I posted a few builds and have two more 450 barrels here to install they shoot !Just ordered me a 17.5” 1:16tw Carbon Six blank for a 450 bushmaster build
Will do!! I messaged you about some 450 builds! Planning on Travis at Travis Customs spinning me up a rifle with a LP Fuzion Ti and KS1 stock.

I ordered mid January was told 12-14 weeks, you should not have to much longerAnyone receive theirs recently? If so, when did you order? I ordered one in early Dec but no word yet...
Did you ever get your barrel? I followed up and what was quoted as 12-14 is now 5 months. Will be my last barrel from them.I ordered mine November 18....still waiting. I expect a shipping anytime though. I talked to Gene a couple weeks ago and he was shipping November orders then.
That shouldnt come as a big surprise given the way things have been with the supply chain. Be patient. Things are weird. It will come.Did you ever get your barrel? I followed up and what was quoted as 12-14 is now 5 months. Will be my last barrel from them.
Yes it showed up last friday. I sent a borescope through it and am happy with everything so far. I was told the same thing when I talked to them. I know that between my barrel and when I made my second payment they had another 500 or so orders go through just based on the invoice number differences. They are pretty busy. Some barrel companies are 9-12 months out at the moment. For Kelbly to do one right now I think its about a year. Hope yours shows up soon. So far I have been happy with the process. I knew it would be around this time of year before it showed up.Did you ever get your barrel? I followed up and what was quoted as 12-14 is now 5 months. Will be my last barrel from them.
I hope so! I ordered one on 2/22. It's my 3rd 450BM barrel from em - the other two were great.Hopefully I’m getting close! 450bm barrel ordered 2/11/22
Anyone running a Magnum bolt face with a PTG bolt and m16 extrator, trying to figure out what my counter bore needs to be.
I’m having a tough time figuring it out. When I put something in the bolt face and push out the extractor as far as it will go, the largest reading I am getting is like .710Not PTG, but LRI. LRI uses 0.75.

factory bolt?I have a 6.5 Max barrel with counterbore .71 and the m16 extractor will not make it over the case rim. If I push my extractor open with a fingernail, I can measure all the way to .79 or so, but all of that isn't needed (at least with my bolt) to make it over the rim. C6 already sent me a UPS tag to send it back for a reamin', and I'm going with LRI's recommendation of 0.75.
Get your barrel yet?Hopefully I’m getting close! 450bm barrel ordered 2/11/22
Nope, I emailed them beginning of May and they said “no time frame, hopefully in 4-5 months from order but no guarantee”Get your barrel yet?
