There is a reason that things endure.

Thanks Pete, I had the same idea and was thinking abouty asking Larry about that. I did check the thread on "cheap" barrel  blanks available and there were none offered in .308 at this time....<><....:)

This looks like a great candidate for a .30 carbine stub project @ $24 (since the exterior 'rusted' barrel will be machined and refinished anyway):
