7.62X39 Barrel
« on: October 26, 2006, 10:06:30 PM »
I'm in the market for a 7.62X39 barrel.
My understanding from what I've read on the boards NEF stopped making them?
Is this correct?

If so I guess I better send off my receiver to get a barrel fitted before all the barrels are gone.

What bore are they .308, .310, or .311?

I'm going to ream it out to 54 so I can make use of my large supply of  New Graft 7.62X54R brass I have. My M44 doesn’t eat it fast enough :)

Thanks All

Warf

Warf, no such luck

I contacted the factory a couple of weeks ago about one, they don't have any left.

I have been trying to find one for several months now.

Good luck in your search.

Unfortunately Darat is correct.  I also contacted the factory and was told the same thing.  Any 7.62X39 barrels that were made are gone.

Your best bet is to find a used barrel or have one rechambered/rebored.
