$150 for a takeoff barrel is too high, even if brand new. I would advise you to save the money and just buy an aftermarket barrel in the chambering you want. Criterion barrels are very good, as are Shilen. Take a look at McGowen barrels also, I use these on builds, and they deliver superb accuracy.
