Barrel. I have a L/H 375 Ruger I bought with idea of re barreling it and changing caliber to a 6.5 PRC. Every place I’ve checked I’m looking at over a grand and some want $2500+ irregardless the caliber etc. Last rifle I had E Frank Coleman redo 3 and it ran around $100 each and 20 days turn around. All we 1/2 MOA when done. He was the Gunsmith at Lackland AFB. Unfortunately he died.

Get the barrel and have Greg chamber it for you @Bugholes His website is www.bugholes.com I don't know what his turnaround time is though.
Many good options now.
your $100 barrels swap ain’t gonna happen unless you have a close friend.
Can’teven get a reamer for $100.

I’ve never heard of any company charging $2500 for a barrel change.
Nor have I heard of any company charging $100. I assume that’s just labor?

Expect $750 if you want the muzzle threaded add another $150 . That the normal in the Houston area it includes the blank with labor, tax is an additional 8.25%.
BTW that is for a 1/4moa barrel.

Ive bought 2 from Greg with no regrets.
I just ordered a prefit from Bugholes. They had the blank in stock and estimated 5-6 weeks
No Frank was the head Smith at Lackland , he did 3 Douglas Barrels, 300 Win Mag for me, my Cousin & my x FIL. He had the blanks. Unfortunately he was dying from years of dust building gun stocks and the chemicals etc. I did have a Brother in Law type deal because I’d done a number of things locally for some of his gun stores he did work for. But reamers and barrel blanks were not priced as high as today’s market either. This was about 1980-82.
I’m near Center Point over there every week. Have several electric gates I fix there.
