Up for sale is a rare vintage C.R. & P.J. Hart custom-made barrel — a beautiful piece of precision gunsmithing history from the 1960s–70s era, produced by the legendary Hart family. Unlike modern mass-produced blanks, this was a bespoke custom-order barrel identified by the classic early “C.R. & P.J.” stamping. Specifications: • Caliber: .243 Winchester • Length: 28 inches • Contour: Heavy / Straight Bull • Material: High-polish stainless steel • Muzzle: Professionally recessed target crown • Breech: Fully threaded tenon • Markings: “C.R. & P.J. HART .243 WIN.” • Twist Rate: 1:10. Condition: Very good vintage condition. Bore is bright with sharp rifling and no visible heavy fouling or rust. Features two small mounting screws located approx. 7" forward of the breech, likely for a vintage scope base or barrel band. Minor cosmetic wear consistent with age and storage. Perfect for a vintage benchrest build, heavy varmint project, or collector of high-end custom rifle components. Early Hart barrels are highly regarded for their precision craftsmanship and accuracy potential.
