I am looking to install a barrel insert in a drilling.  Which barrel would be best to install the insert?

I have seen the barrel insert mentioned several places in this forum but don't know much about them.  Do these inserts only come from the manufacturer or is this something that a gunsmith can do aftermarket?

Thanks,
Jason

mako,

You can buy factory barrel inserts and have them fitted by your gunsmith, but they are expensive. Costing as much as a 22 rifle for the better ones. There are a couple of USA made ones available that are cheeper but I hear their accuracy is not always as good.

I have 3 one in each of my drillings. 2 short tubes and a long tube. All mfg. by kreighoff. Mine all work very well.

Regards,  ;D

Thanks for the reply.  I haven't done that much looking yet but so far I have not seen a place to buy the Kreighoff models but did see one vendor in Alaska.

  My comment was NOT directed at you, you must have a guilty conscience!  lol  lol

  What i ment is, "if" you don't know what the Krieghoff inserts cost, you will have sticker shock when you find out!  BUT, i love mine, and think they are worth the money IF you have them installed properly so they work right.

Hey DM

Good point on the value of the inserts.  But if I was selling them they would cost more...  :o
