Barrel replacement

5 posts in this topic

I have a N.O.S. P17 barrel that I am willing to turn into a replacement JSAR barrel, if it can be done... Everything is longer and fatter on this barrel, so it needs quite a bit machining..

Anyone with experience on this..?

Mr. Joseph Scott will be able to tell you if it's possible. I don't think he works on barrels anymore.

Garand, 1903/ 1903/A3, Remington 700 bbls are generally used.  I see no reason why a 1917 bbl would not do.  As noted, Joseph Scott would know.

I was thinking of 1903 and 03a3 barrels. I didn't know of any others used for Johnsons.

Garand bbls were commonly used on Winfield standard spotters.  You could recognize them by the remnants of the hand guard clip grooves and the lower band pin groove.  They were also shorter and usually done with JSAR front sight but without bayonet lug.  The pin and clip grooves are the giveaway.  Remington 700 30/06 take offs are relatively common and inexpensive and work well also.
