I don't know if they are available yet. I suspect not as they don't have a list of calibres on the site yet but will anyone be having a go at one?

Re: Lithgow black mountain barrels.
From what I have heard these should be good barrels. Unfortunately, they don't have the bling factor that some factory barrels have.
To me, they look well made but suffer in 'bling'. They look a lot like Styers hammer forged barrels, effective but ugly. Happy to be enlightened though....

Re: Lithgow black mountain barrels.
Never been interested in the bling thing with bang sticks. I have never been one for polishing and shining rifles so a bland looking tube is no bother at all. As long as they are accurate and easy to clean I don't care.

I would if the opportunity and need arose, but music and marriage is eating into my cash flow at the moment

Don't ever try to calculate the amount spent on the second option there..... Nausea quickly follows.....Dr G wrote:I would if the opportunity and need arose, but music and marriage is eating into my cash flow at the moment

Re: Lithgow black mountain barrels.
Had one on my omark and was a good shooter, looked just like the one in the link with some sort of coating on it, shot good and cleaned easily enough.
Klicker shoots his $250 omark with its black mountain barrel, it often out shoots the multi thousand dollar gear next to him on the mound
So yes if they were in a cal I needed I would buy one if the price was competitive.
