group by on M40a1 barrels
- Thread starter Frank Green
- Start date
So I'm cutting it off today. No more orders. If my count is correct.... the total comes to 23 barrels. I'll have the shop make a run of 25 of them.
Time wise 4 months.
If all of you would please.... email us an order with your name, address, phone number and email address about the group buy for the M40A1 spec. barrels. Yes a few of you I have your address info but just do it again please. Email it to.... info@bartleinbarrels.com
All will be 5R and 1-10 twist and S.S.
All will be contoured to 1.200" x 4.000" str. taper to .900" @ 25" finish / 27" blanks.
Price is a flat $400 which includes s&h. We don't need payment up front right away but if you could say half down in say 6-8 weeks would be appreciated. If you want to pay by c.c. there will be a 3.5% cc fee when it's all said and done for guys using a c.c.
Once we receive your email with your address info. etc... will enter a order for you specifically and email you a order confirmation.
So I'll say sometime in July the barrels will be done.

If all of you could please… when you email in your order… put a reference in there with your forum name/call out also.
That way I cross guys off of the hide list as the orders get entered.
Not a big deal… I just don’t want to miss anyone. I should’ve said that in my earlier post.

On behalf of Bartlein Barrels.....thanks for the orders!

I want to get all the orders entered so we can take them out to the shop to get the ball rolling on our end so we can make the July time frame.
I'm going to make the last call early next week to get your info in. If your info isn't in.... your gonna miss the boat.

@Redmanss and to everyone else.... it's picture day Thursday.....
Same two barrels the original and a turned one to mimic the turn lines just from a different distance with the camera. I think it's pretty close.
As @Redmanss says... when you run your thumbnail down the length of it... "it sings" Also you can see when he wiped it off when pulling it out the lathe to wipe off the coolant... you can see fibers from the shop rag.
The old take off original M40A1 barrel does feel smoother but that thing has been USED and repainted who knows how many times.
This work for you guys?

What process was used to blacken the original stainless M40A1 barrels? Was it what we call nitriding? I found this process and I’m not sure if it’s what I need. I’d rather not go with Dura/Cera cote that seems to be the go to now.
The company is GunBlack Inc. but they look like a full service industrial finisher.
Thanks,
Greg

I don't know offhand or remember hearing how they did.
Back in the late 50's / 60's when places like Remington or Win did the blued type finish on a stainless barrel (it came out like a flat black looking finish) they had to run the barrels thru a process (I forget the technical name) where they actually bonded iron particles to the outside of the barrel. That way the iron/c.m. particles would take the hot bluing finish.
Not sure about Win but it was in the early to mid 60's you will find Remington 700's that they did this to. A old friend of mine that I use to hunt with his dad had a 1962/64 time frame Remington 700 in 7mag. It had a stainless barrel that had that blued type finish.

So your saying I need a Time Machine?
I have noticed that the old 7mm Magnums have Stainlees Steel embossed on the barrels.
