Different makers. I know of Keiser. I can do a web search but I would like some personal feed back. Blitz

This is off topic here, but if it takes off, we can make it a separate thread.
Kreiger, Obermeyer, Schneider, etc. are all good barrels.
I am partial to Lilja because they shoot well and my gunsmith likes them, and I also like Rock 5Rs when he is making a good run.
Pretty much any barrel maker's blanks can be threaded for a Mauser, turned to any profile you desire, and chambered for the round of your choice. All you need to pick is the caliber (bore diameter) and twist.
The bolt face may have to be modified if your round does not have the same dimensions as the original chambering. .30-06, .308, .270, .243, etc. are all the same head size, MOL.
HTH. Best of luck.
