Did LMT just add these different cartridge barrels to their list??? 260, 6.5, 7mm08, 338!

Did LMT just add these different cartridge barrels to their website? 243, 260, 6.5, 7mm08, 338! Or have these always been listed on their website?

link to website showing the different barrels: Bolts/Carriers

They have been around for a few years now.
Since the great panic they are just not around.
A year ago you could get them from LMT without waiting too long, or see them on Gunbroker, etc..

ahhh... ok. thanks. even in 243 and 338? I know they had 260 and 6.5, but didn't know about the others.

338 federal yes. Not sure about .243.

 

[Laseredge]

I'm pretty sure all of them have been out for a while.
I've got multiple .308 barrels, and a .260.

I've seen for sale/read reviews of people that had the .243, 7mm-08 and 6.5CM.
Can't remember if I've seen the .338.

Hopefully we will see LMT or aftermarket barrels around this year, and also they will make the .260/6.5CM with an 8 twist instead of 9.

 

[elfster1234]

sounds good.... I just don't remember seeing them on their website unless they took them off for a while and then put them back on.

I called LMT within the last month and was told they had many of those barrels in stock.

I've seen them available in their literature at SHOT going back to 2010 at least. They don't market them as well as they could, probably because they're so busy filling .224 and .308 bores on long back-order lists.

A 7mm-08 or .260 Rem would be sweet from the MRP. Less recoil, more performance.

yes, I think the 260 would be sick!!

so correct me here as I've never done this before......

other than getting a .260 barrel changed out on the LMT... anything else you need to do with the bolt or pmag to get rounds down the tube?

Hold/dial for a lot less wind and trajectory......

Put steel targets farther than normal.....

Make sure your steel isn't within 300yds because you will blast through it, or deface it terribly (AR500).

.260 rem
.243
7-08
6.5CM
338 Fed

all been available since within the first year the MWS came out, no change other than bbl as these cartridges are all based on the same case with different neck diameters. I traded a 260 bbl to another member here and his range reports were impressive with sub-moa performance with a 5 minute installation.
