Just for grins, how do you think Rem barrels are made?

Hot hammer forged of course.

I was at an Academy today. It was in Plano

Hot hammer forged of course.

thought it was chromemoly

Chrome Moly refers to the type of steel, usually 4140. Hammer forging is the process in which the barrel is made...basically. Your hammer forged Howa barrel is Chrome Moly too.

so what are all the proccesses of forging i know heat is one but weatherby states cold forging, is that special, hows remington and others do it.

Im guessing you are asking about other methods of forming the rifling.

Hammer forging be it cold or hot(one is formed hot, ones cold) requires very expensive tooling, but produces barrels at very low cost. This process is used by high volume operators such as manufacurers. In addition, you can form the chamber and the bore in one step.

Buttoned or cut rifling lends itself to producing lower quantities. These methods are used by custom barrel makers. This is the option if you want the best.

However, don't think hammer forged barrels are bad or inaccurate. hammer forging is just a fast process, but unlike button or cut rifling you dont get the attention to detail, so consistancy barrel-to-barrel varies more.
