Title: BAR in 260 Remington?
Post by: sherppa on May 11, 2008, 04:49:30 AM

Would it be possible to re-barrel a 308 Win, BAR to 260 Remington?

Sure, but it might be cheaper to rebore a 243.

sherppa, I had a BLR rebarreled from 308 to 260 a few years ago. Sent it to a gunsmith in montana. His only concern was if it was the steel reciever. Mine was.
If he could rebarrel a BLR no doubt he could rebarell a BAR. However it cost over $400 to have it rebarelled and a rebore from a 243 would be cheaper as Bigfoot stated.
