Barrel Maker for NEF single shots
« on: January 02, 2007, 11:13:42 AM »
Do you knop  if there is a custom barrel maker for the NEF handi-rifles?  Or have you had any luck in re-chambering the rifle?  Thanks.

I've had several H&Rs rechambered/rebored by Wayne York of Oregunsmithing, he does excellent work and they're very accurate. .338-06 A-Square, .405 Winchester, .35 Remington and .280 Improved so far.

I have had two 24" bull barrels rebored an rechambered by Ron Smith, both barrels shoot very well. Both used the the 223 H&R barrels. One was chambered in 6x47 the other in 257 Roberts.

Ron Smith is a well known Canadian barrel maker using cut rifling only. He has produced some world record holding Schützen Rifle Barels. Many of his barrels are in the US. Word gets around.
