Looking for some help from the masses...I have a Marlin Camp Carbine 9mm, that someone had rechambered to .356TSW back in the day.
Needless to say - that caliber is long past it's usefulness. I want to rebarrel it to it's original 9mm.
I could cut off the bbl - rethread / rechamber but now I'm looking at an SBR - not something I want to do with this particular specimen.
I have looked high and low for a new / used Marlin 9mm barrel - as far as I can tell - they are like hens teeth...unobtanium.
Next stop - look for a 9mm barrel blank (17" ish).
Green Mountain Barrels was a perfect solution - but they are out of stock and their CS rep said they "may" do a run mid 2022 or possibly later. ($43)
This seems to also be in the unobtanium category, unless I buy a custom blank from a big barrel maker - (recent quote was $260+)
So - anyone know where I may find a used bbl for this or a blank that I can turn / thd / chamber? (yes I have all the capability/tooling)
Any help would be appreciated.
TIA
