Anyone know if any gunsmith would contour or re-contour a barrel. I have a hawk hill straight taper comp contour. Due to the diameter, I can’t use my nv bridge on my krg x-ray.
Smith who will contour a barrel

If it's been chambered already, there's not many who will. It can be done without ill effect but it can have an effect on accuracy, which is why so many won't do it. Like fluting a barrel ect... If it's a blank then there's many who can do it for you.
Yep, we can do it. We can work with a barrel that's already been chambered and typically don't need to touch the crown either but that last part comes with a caveat that we have tooling to support the nose without touching the bore.
Typically it's in/out less than a week. We have two centers dedicated to turning contours now.

Correcting my statement from earlier, it sounds like John is back taking work.

My information is out of date then, thanks for the heads up. It's good to hear things are back on the way up there.
