Thread: Hardy barrels

Have had a 6.5prc and 6mmARC, both lasers . They have a good selection of contours, do their own fluting and good cans too

Ill vouch for the barrels from Hardy. Ive build several rifles and I cant complain about their quality.

Dont be afraid to support local

I have one on my 6bra, goes well

I've got 2x from TF. Very happy when I do my bit right.

I have been quoted $1,500 inc fitting by Trueflight and anoother (cant rememeber) for a sporter so yes. Hardy might be a little cheaper.

Not worth it for most hunting rifles i guess.

Have also had a great run from TF with one of my 6x45's.

Yip totally agree
Currently have a Hardy CF on my 6.5 06, and prior to that rebarreled my 270 with a Trueflight. No complaints at all about either. I expected good things and definitely wasn't disappointed

Wouldn't give Hardy money to get off my sister

ohh dear Mr Hardy - been looking around want to put new barrel on my old Rem 700 .222 but not a great deal of choice - trueflight all good and Hardy but getting blank looks elsewhere unless someone out there knows better ?? seems a lot are order and wait but how long lol

I've never had to rebarrel a rifle but this thread made me have a look at what it would cost.... Holy smokes could buy a new barreled action for less in a lot of cases

Because Dan Hardy is a complete tool. I know they say let bygones be bygones and all that stuff but I had a dealing with him several years ago where he was literally screaming down the phone all sorts of obscenities and pretty much completely lost the plot because he refused to sort out a friends rifle that he threaded and fitted a suppressor to, it was threaded on the piss and the first time he fired it with suppressor on it struck a baffle and blew a hole out the end of the suppressor (where a hole wasn't supposed to be..) he ranted and raved about how he was sick of "retarded fucking cunts who buy his products and get fucking gun city to fit them" etc etc and when I tried to tell him the rifle was sent to him to fit the suppressor he just hung up on me.
I have NEVER had anything close to that kind of unprofessionalism in any of my dealings with any kind of retailer or service provider. Might have been having a bad week, might just be a nutcase, in any case it was pretty concerning behavior especially from someone in the firearms industry.

Late last year I paid $1800 for new barrel, accurizing action, threading and fluting.

It all adds up!
Are you happy with the end result and did you go in with your eyes wide open re the price or was that a surprise?
