    T/C component prices?

    I've know the prices have been getting high on the T/C ML components for some time. Have been looking and thinking about a faster twist barrel for mine and just amazed at what things are going for these days. What did I miss or not understand? The below other than being original and slow twist for RB is over $435 for just a barrel!! You can get a new Rice or GM at some point for that.

    Prices have doubled in recent years. Look around get a drop in.

    Both of you are correct. My question is why are these original items bringing so much? That barrel sold for more than a new GM or Rice barrel ready to install.

    I dunno, I was just on Gunbroker looking at complete guns and was surprised how low the bids were.

    ^ Though I did see the laughable prices parts are going for on Ebay. I guess they're buying them cheap on gunbroker and splitting them up on Ebay.

    Stainless Green Mountain barrels are going for staggering prices. I heard of one that was close to 1000.00 dollars. I bought two that were 75.00 each.

    Yea $75 days are long gone never to return. S.S. GM barrels do bring a premium for the right buyer/seller. I've known prices are on the rise with these but just can never understand the ebay buyers.

    I bought a GM dropin barrel for my T/C Hawken from TOTW, 32" 66 twist that turned my gun into the gun I always wished it was, a rb shooting machine that looked, handled and shot well. Cost was around 250$ didn't that was bad at all.

    I'll second the idea of letting Bob Hoyt re-line or re-cut to a new caliber as the way to go. The man is a master. Tell him what you want to shoot - RB or Conical - and he'll give advice on the right solution. Way cheaper than a new drop in and you keep you ML original-ish.
