Title: Lilja Barrel order going in...
Post by: BobR on February 19, 2013, 11:23:10 AM
for anyone that is interested - I will be placing a Lilja barrel order in the next few weeks. They currently have a 16 week delivery time and require a 50% payment up front (I will need cash,bank draft, or cheque payable to me). Prices are listed on their website and I expect most barrels will come in under $400 after all tax+shipping is paid for. fyi - they produce barrels with a diameter in the 1.3" -1.5" range if you are looking for a barrel for a rail gun... I am listed as a Canadian importer on their website for those who may not know me...
Let me know...
cheers,
Bob

This should not be taken as a slight towards Canadian barrel makers - I order most of my barrels from Canadian makers...

No one in Canada makes match barrels larger than 1.25" that I am aware of. That is why I got setup with Lilja.

fyi - Canadian barrels cost more. On my last 3-4 barrels they are costing me ~$50 more per barrel.

would also like to apologize for the thread derail, perhaps the mods could remove the off topic posts to a new thread entitled 'where to buy shooting related products- canadian made'.
people could post where they have found items north of the border, lee

I created a new thread for the discussion of Canadian Barrel Makers.
