?s2"Quick"
« on: May 27, 2006, 07:50:22 AM »
If I buy a barrel [26" in 280Rem] can I send it out to be rebored to 30/06 with a 1:10 twist?
Is this doable?
Can I get a muzzle break on it installed?
Who is out there to do this kind of work?
Any idea of prices?

Yes, that would be affirmative, Bull!! Mac and I had .25-06 barrels rechambered and rebored to .338-06 A-Square, so I don't see any reason why you couldn't do the same to .30-06 with a .280 barrel, although a .25-06 barrel would work for ya too, they're both 26".

Wayne York did ours, he also does his own muzzle brakes, cost for rebore would be $300 or so. He uses 6 groove cut rifling, very accurate!! :wink:

There are some slight difference in dimensions of the .30-06 and the .280 or .25-06 you'd probably need to take into consideration, too.

Tell me about 338/06, please?
I feel from looking at its terminal specs. it would make a great long range cartridge.
What say You?

So do I have to fo0llow the drill and send my receiver to H/R in order to get the barrel I want?
Barring that, can I just give them the money and they give me the barrel and I send it to Wayne, with a bushel basket of money for him? Just kidding about the "...bushel..."
You are the subject matter expert here; your guidance and mentoring would be appreciated here.

H&R will only sell barrels that they fit to your frame, so yes, you need to send a frame in to get a barrel.

In the mean time, contact Wayne and discuss your desires, whether you want it matte blued, the original marking on the barrel removed, etc..

Once you get the barrel and frame back, send the barrel to him, he only needs the barrel.

The only way i know to get a barrel from H&R is to send the frame to them for fitting , they will not sell them outright . the only other way is to buy one from e-bay or some other on-line place and then send it to wayne .

Or you could just buy a whole rifle and have another frame plus stock set to keep or sell , this would help re-coop some of the cost of having the barrel done .

So, here's my "sitrep" [Navy and Marine talk fior Situation Report]
I have a Handi in 280 Remington, while I like the round, I think that it would greatly expedite matters completely if I shipped the whole of the weapon to Wayne along with the aforementioned "...bushel...".
So, I have the weapon developed for 30/06 or 338/06 [I flip the coin here], no rush as I am still developing another 30/06 Ultra that I submitted a range report on earlier, and wait for my "baby" to be born in 60+days.  Then, send the receiver back to H/R and have it refit for a 280 Remington barrel again at a later date.
More effecient of time and materials? Y/N
Realistically "doable"? Y/N

When ya talk to Wayne, you'll find out he'd rather only receive just the barrel, if he receives the entire rifle, he has to log it which entails more paper work for him and he doesn't need the frame to do chamber/bore work. Of course, if you want him to fit a used barrel to the frame or the factory fit isn't good, that's a different matter.

As far as waiting for another acc barrel later, just remember that all new barrels will be extractor just in case you prefer ejectors, if that makes a difference to ya.

If you had other modifications done to the frame by Wayne such as a much lighter trigger, H&R will undo them to their specs.

rifleman61:

To get the best chamber for a 338-06 with a NEF 26" barrel..you probably would want to go with the 25-06 barrel...not the 280 barrel...I discussed this with Wayne  before either Quick or myself sent any barrels into him to have rebored to this caliber. The 338-06AS is slightly different dimensionally than either the 30-06 or the 25-06 case. Weatherby did the change when they went for SAMMI approval.The wildcat 338-06 uses the 30-06 case with the same shoulder and the neck expanded to accept a .338 cal bullet...Wayne also can do this conversion as well..The 2 rounds are almost identical..but enough so that a Weatherby factory 338-06 A-Square round won't chamber completely in it due to the neck dimensions and shoulder change..

 Dave Kiff of Pacific Tool and Gauge supplied Wayne with the reamer for this conversion for us..You could also give him a call and speak with him for the dimensions as well. Another option for you since Wayne can and has built several wildcats on the 25-06 that could work as well utilizing the 280 case if you elected to stay with the 25-06 bore..As Quick has already said...call Wayne and discuss the paticulars with him..he's more than willing to set it up in any configuration you want provided it is safe to do so..

Best of luck with it if you elect to have a 338-06AS built. I absolutly love mine...Wayne does excellent work and his cut rifling is second to none..

I also have a 25/06Ultra
So you are telling me that a 25/06 Barrel would work better, is that the 'jist of it?
This sounds like "sex" with a really prettty girl [the 25/06] something that I might hate myself for the next morning? Right?!
If so, hard choices???????????!

Yes..it will benifit you more going with a 25-06 barrel to be rebored..Give Wayne a call and discuss this with him..He'll explain it to you when you do..

The old saying is you have to break a few eggs to make omletts...I too had a great shooting 25-06..but since I converted it...I now have a great shooting 338-06 A-square which I like even more..I also have a tack driving 280 as well..and wouldn't even consider reboring it..I had given it some thought a while back..but now that I have it in my hands I don't want to do any conversion on it..I have a extractor 25-06 barrel now..and hopefully a ejector barrel pretty soon..one of these will be headed his way to be converted to a 270...I tried doing that earlier this year..and it turned up missing when he got the package...next time I'll use UPS or Fed-Ex not the post office.. :evil:

Good Luck  :D

ThankYou "my boyo" [Irish for close friend]
I shall hate myself in the morning, but only a little.
Do "U" have a contact number that I can get a hold of, I don't know that I
read closely enough in the traffic.
I really want to get this one underway.
