IBI barrels can set you up with a pre-fit with a barrel nut so you can install it yourself, if you want to go that way. 12 or 16 twist.
Rebarreling a B 14 R
Good morning, everyone!
I finally decided to give up and rebarrel my B14 R - love the action, of course because it reminds me of my first love
- Remington 700 in .308, but it's just too inconsistent, even with its "preferred" - what else 🤦♂️ - Lapua X Act, with the current overall RC well exceeding 1,000. I tried the OEM stock and the MDT XRS chassis, both with various torque settings.
Also, at this point I have enough sunk costs in this rifle that another grand or thereabouts almost makes economic sense
Can you recommend a gunsmith that specializes in 22 lr rifles or at least doesn't shy away from them - I called Long Rifles Inc., and a tech said - "we've never done one, 22s are a PITA, but I guess we could try it🤦♂️🤦♂️", that's why I'm saying that?
TIA!

Thanks - I just might go for it, since wherever I send it it'll almost certainly take 6 to 9 months, and I won't be able to stand it and buy another one along with the pre-fit barrel - yes, I like it that much, which is quite dysfunctional considering its erratic performance... what's your cell if I need help?
