"Custom" barrels
Terra-
I know y'all are still busy with the feeding frenzy of mass purchases but please entertain a question for me. I shot off an e-mail the other day about building up a "wildcat" barrel in 6x45mm (6mm-223 Rem, still haven't given up!). Could you ask the powers that be, what might be the minimum number of interested parties to warrant a special run of barrels? Certain stock aspects such as chromed, etc may be cost prohibitive but other options such as stainless are possible of course.
We've all got our opinions when it comes to the topic of a 'same bolt conversion'. Mine is simply that the 6mm offers more versatility through a greater choice of bullets and capabilities; varmint, cheap plinking, match to medium weight hunting slugs. As of right now, other calibers based off of everything from .264 to .277 bullets narrow the shooter's options down to rather specific loadings stretching the abilities of the parent case, in my humble opinion.
