bergara .308 blank

[farmerboy78]

Hey guys, I just got in my monthly sportsmanship guide catalog and they have bergara .308 bore heavy barrel blanks with a 1:10" twist for sale for 39.99... The o.d. is 1.13" and the lengths available are 18.2" and 16.35"....4140 chrome moly steel

I looked at these and don't feel 1.130 is large enough at the receiver. Stock Mosins are 1.190, and the barrels I make are 1.200. The surface area of the barrel and surface area of the receiver should be equal or as close as possible.
