Well, after slamming eBay, I turned right around and bought a new Zastava commercial 7x57 barrel through them. The seller had 706 transactions, and a perfect record on feedback... couldn't be too bad a risk.
This barrel is replacing a marginally accurate 8mm barrel on a Yugo, so it should feel right at home (both from Yugoslavia). Hope it turns out to be a decent shooter. 7x57 at full modern pressures is quite a marvelous cartridge. Back of the napkin calcs, based on published loads, say that 2900 fps with 140 grainers should be easy, and 3000 might be safely possible.
