I just found a place recently that does custom barrels. Let me see if I can find it.

Here you go.

I ordered a .41 mag SS barrel from MGM (Match grade machine). Very good quality and very good prices. I would buy from them anytime. Irtys

Give Ed Kirkpatrick at Edstc.com a call. He found my 357 Max contender barrel for me.

If ya got a few weeks to spare, Matchgrademachine did my custom 338 Win Mag Barrel. A little more than factory, but you can order exactly what YOU want.

Absolutely love my new barrel

Call the T/C pro shop, they do custom calibers. Also Bullberry in Utah is a good quality shop specializing in contenders. Love em.

Witchhunter, I thought smith and wesson closed the custom shop when they took over T/C?

The T/C Custom Shop is closed as of this writing. No one is sure if and when it will reopen, so T/C is not an option.

A true .311" bore 7.62x39 Contender barrel is going to be a hard one to find. Both Bullberry and Match Grade Machine only use .308" bore barrels for 7.62X39. This means one is reloading for the barrel, so other caliber choices make more sense, like the .30-30 Ackley Improved.

From Bullberry's site.

Custom barrels chambered in 7.62 x 39 will be built on a true .308" bore barrel. This does not allow for use of ANY remanufactured or factory-built ammunition regardless of bullet diameter used. These products are commonly made for traditional military chambers in a larger bore size or have been fired in oversized chambers and will cause damage to your firearm when used in our barrels.

Actually MGM will do a .311 1in 10 twist. Its special order and an additional $50.

I have a few bullberry barrels, they do great work, they'll make any thing you want, give Fred a call
