Just sent my match grade Wilson Combat 6.8 spc barrel to Carl at Kampfeld Custom. He trimmed 5.7oz w/spiral fluting. Carl is a great guy to deal with. Communication was great and turnaround was only 12 days w/shipping both ways. Highly recommend him. Price was very fair also!!! Can see a pic at photos/finally finished my 6.8

No sir it was brand new, but it did shoot great when I got it back. Maybe that question was for the OP?

Yeah, directed at the OP.. Did you shoot the barrel before it was sent off, i.e., a before and after accuracy test.
I had a buddy that wrecked a 6.8 barrel by having two much taken off..

you made the right decision. Karl is magic on a machine weather you shot it first, makes no difference. He did the barrel, bolt and bolt knob, installed a Jewell Trigger and bedded my Rem. 700 5R. Gun shoots very good and mayor coming up on the classifieds soon, Big Fitz has his eye on it

I had a buddy that wrecked a 6.8 barrel by having two much taken off.. The one he did for me started out at 26" Bull barrel, weighed 6 pounds. When I got it back, I had it cut to 22" and very deep spiral fluting, it weighed about 4 pounds. Accuracy was great.
