I'm guessing this is the right forum.
I see that the aftermarket barrels for 10/22s and CZs and probably others are, in most cases, drop-in, and all the info as to maker, caliber etc. is engraved on the barrel.
But lets say you had another action, maybe a Remington 581 that had the action threaded.
I'm assuming here that you would just order a plain barrel blank and have a smith turn down a shank and thread it to match the action.
So, where is the most likely place to order that barrel blank, and would it be stamped with the makers name since a gunsmith would be making big changes to it??
The reason I'm asking is, to maybe get a feel about the barrel that I have which is screwed into a 581 action which I have.
There is absolutely no markings on the barrel.
Is that Normal??
And if this rifle proves to be as accurate as I think it will, should I take it to a qualified smith and have it stamped with model and caliber??
