Are the M48's barrels made by Pac-Nor

[jtoews80]

I seem to recall the NCR's having a Pac-Nor barrel, would that also be true of the M48's??

Yes, Pac-Nor makes the barrels for Nosler.

I hear good things about Pac Nor barrels, but have never tried one. Might be something I need to try...

Pac-Nor makes a fine barrel. I have shot quite a few of their barrels on custom rifles. All shot well and were exceptionally well-built. Nosler made a great choice in choosing these barrels for their rifles.

I have a Pac-Nor, but I ordered it with a faster twist than I needed and now I need heavy for caliber bullets and maybe a rechamber to a severe overbore to get the potencial out of it. It's a 1-8.5 chambered in 264 withi a turn neck and it shoots 140 VLDs and SMK's very well. I would have tried the Nosler 140 CC's in it, but can't get them most of the time.

I may try the 142 SMK or try to scare up some really heavy wildcat bullets, but have been unsuccessful to this point.

Of course, nosler could build me a 155 or 160 grain Custom Comp bullet that would look like a pencil without the lead point...... Would be spectacular.

I have some Barnes Original .264/165 gr Semi-Spitzers, I don't know of anything heavier. Norma sells several 156 gr bullets too.

I thought Nosler was using the Wiseman barrels in the NCRs...jim

Well I talked to Pac-Nor about a barrel for myself the other day (280 AI) and they said that they made all the 280 AI barrels for Nosler. I never hear anything bad about them, and they are made in Oregon, as is Nosler.

 

[DrMike]

And Pac-Nor is one of the few custom barrel makers to list a barrel in 9.3 mm. Guess which tube I've ordered for my 9.3 X 64. I won't be unhappy.

Pac Nor has ALWAYS been a great outfit to deal with making outstanding barrels - I have had many jobs done by them (Chris Dischter used to be the owner, not sure if his son took over) but mostly I had them do the fit and chambering too without issues of any type - AND, as stated, they are an OREGON company

 

[SJB358]

They were very nice when I called then while deployed. Helpful and very informative while speaking with them on the phone. I know they would be one of my first choices for a barrel of any type. Scotty

 

[FOTIS]

They built one of my 378's. Shot great!

 

[jmad_81]

I ended up getting the 280 AI barrel. Shoots great, and they were very nice to deal with! My next barrel will be from them as well.

 

[backcountryhunter]

just for clarification sake the point should be made that PacNor "finishes" the barrels, the "barrel blank manufacturer makes the barrels, it is common practice for several barrel "makers" and/or gunsmiths to go together to purchase a "lot" of barrel blanks which normally come in 1" tubes 30" +/- long to do their lathe work, bore finishing, threading & chambering, etc ...

All of the Nosler rifles have Pac-Nor barrels, and they are a great company to work with.

 

[backcountryhunter]

PacNor does an outstanding job with their barrels - they've been doing it long enough for sure ...

I don't know at what stage PacNor hands off the barrels to Nosler but whatever the arrangement it appears to be a good "marriage" of workmanship and skill

John Rigby & Co. use Pac-Nor barrels in super match grade for all their guns...you can request something different, but Geoff Miller swears by Pac-Nor and I have never seen one that wasn't more accurate than a shooter was capable of shooting...

Nosler made an excellent choice to barrel their rifles...
