Couldn't hold out on the FX liners anymore. Got my 30" .30 in today from TJs. They ground it down to .550" for me, it came out nice and straight
Time tothis king!

WOOHOO! Can't hardly wait to see what you can do with this beauty at 100+ yards once you get her broken in and figure out what ammo it likes best! Remind me...what rifle are you putting it on?

1:26 raw TJ blank. I'm purposely not doing the math on what I've spent on materials and tooling to get this beauty setup perfectly lol. I have a few more barrels arriving tomorrow, so the costs justified the means.
Me too! I just finished turning the first brass barrel inlet for it a few minutes ago. Perfection takes time, but I should have the barrel mated and crowned by Wednesday (still undecided on what I want to do for moderation), but it's going on this:

TJ barrels must be extremely expensive because everyone guards the price of the barrel itself.

No website there old school. Email and phone orders. Here's a pricing sheet I got from them awhile back

I believe FX chokes theirs tighter for slugs but I don't care how the job gets done, I only care about the accuracy.

Man I’m so jealous! You guy’s talk about swapping and modifying barrels like it’s boiling an eg....
Top knowledge here! And i VERY MUCH appreciate it, that some of you guy’s share the know how! Thx for that.
But it doesn’t mean I’m going to order a lathe & take the Dremel out!
Cheers

Yeah it's a lot of work lol. I had to take the O.D. down to 0.538 to fit the block (before threading stage), spent almost a day planning and making tools needed to get there..

Decided not to use a brass inlet on my .550" O.D. barrel:
I kind of like the idea if having it one-piece
