The 2 manufacturers that I found for barrels were X-Caliber and Tactical Ordnance. I have read not so great reviews about tactical ordnance barrels, so I went with X-Caliber. It's a 24" 1:8 twist stainless barrel. FWIW, they do a sale occasionally around big holidays, so if you're not in a hurry, it might pay to wait.

Thanks. The bolt cost $150. I have a side charging upper, and the ejection port is already enlarged, so it could be ok already. The barrel probably cost about $500? Reloading supplies etc. I reckon $750 ish I would be in business. Still quite a sum, but I will see.
6mm - 7mm is pretty cool. It is the range of ballistician's delight. Bullets are just a bit expensive though.
