I find myself with a barrel stub, a lathe, a milling machine and an interest in sleeving in a 6.5 caliber barrel. The problem is, no info available that I can find on chamber wall thickness. The OD of the Encore stub is 1.0”. The sleeved barrel would have to be turned down fairly small to work. One measurement that I saw from the now defunct Eagleview Arms listed their stub with 13/16 x 20 internal thread, or about .8125. That leaves a wall diameter of about .09 on the stub. . It would also leave a chamber wall thickness on the sleeved barrel of about .184 using the specs of a 6.5 Grendel as an example.
Does anybody have one of these, or have you done one of these? Am I limited to low pressure wildcat calibers requiring custom dies?
I’ve inquired about this on other forums in the gun smithing sub forum, with no luck. Seems a closely guarded secret

I've got a stubbed 250 Savage barrel for my contender but I cannot confirm any internal dimensions that you seek.
I'd suggest posing your question to the guys at Saubier.com, at least one of them may hold some insight to your dilemma.

Just barely, very professionally done.
Got it from a well known member here.
won't let me link post. Hope photos help
I also have a Coyote Guns barrel in 6.5 Grendel that is one of my favorites.
Loading for the little break-action always requires pressure considerations
Thanks,
Jimmy

I've never fired factory rounds. Same with 250 Savage
I use load recommendations from Bill Alexander for Grendel.
19 gr. 4198 behind 140 gr BTSP for 2200 FPS
I wish David White were around for you to consult on your stubbing questions.
1. Go to Saubier.com (http://www.saubier.com/forum.html)
2. Go to Project guns
3. Top right "search this forum" type in "barrel stubbing"
4. Peruse those findings
Somewhere among the members of Saubier is the Eagle View guys
One more chance, may be a worm hole:

Please post your conclusions
Thanks,
Jimmy
