Whats a fair price for this I have recently heard of someone being charged £950.00 to rebarrel an AR15. Not sure of the cost of a profilled blank from sassen engineering but that seems an awful lot of money. Anyone had one done recently at a better price

Mark Bradley just rebarreled mine.

17" Walther barrel and it was a LOT less than that !

Check out Fox Firearms - they do ready chambered drop in barrels for the AR in various lengths and profiles.

I have spoke to a reputable AR builder in the UK and the price for a sassen engineering barrel. Chambered,screw cut, cerekoted black, brake timed and sent to be proofed. Should be no more than £600.00 including VAT. So there we have it If your being charged £950.00 for exactly what I've put above your being robbed.

Everyone has there own labour rates ,after all a bloke down the road will service your car for £50 labour but a main dealer will be considerably more wont it ?

I agree with that but £350 more I'm sorry thats robbery. In sunnary have your AR15 rebarelled at BRADLEY ARMS his is the most competitive price I can find for the same service. He's like ronseal does exactly what it says in the Tin.

Mark Bradley has just re-barreled mine with a Walther barrel and it's doing a fine job. Accuracy is beyond what I could reasonably expect with a 18" barrel and GGG 62gr.

He was MUCH less than the OP quote and was very helpful and quick.

Walther barrels are the new 'Black.'

Mine is in Patriot Brown. Black is very last year.

Looking forward to giving it its first outing at CSR.
