Could those with Walther barrels (Carl, not Lothar), tell me how many grooves there are? I mean smallbore not AR.

5 or 6 grooves I think

Out of interest a response as to who manufactures Walther barrels from their service center( I asked a while back) read:
"..our barrels for KK300 are made by Lothar Walther and the rifling is pulled or drawn with a non cutting process."

Thank you. The comment about the origin is rather interesting, as I'd though Walther made their own, bar the optional 690mm stainless, which I think is/was a Border. I've read that in years past Anschutz supplied some barrels to Walther, but didn't know they still outsourced.
