Where & what brand of barrel is it?

Mathias will be eagerly watching & he still has me seriously thinking of a 6x45

It was amongst a bunch of second hand barrels Ive picked up from Guncity Christchurch, they have a heap of take off barrels from back when Robbie Tiffen was doing their smithing. Im unsure of the brand and wouldnt trust GC even if they told me what it was.
Ive purchased quite a few, some have been perfect others have had shot out throats etc but most are reusable for the little CZ, Sako or Zastava actions as they have very small action threads meaning they can be trimmed up quite a lot and there's still enough diameter left to fit them. At $99 per barrel they make great testing rigs for new wildcats and new to me cartridges such as this little project.

I actually picked up a .223 mini Mauser project for this build too but changed my mind when I saw how good condition and pretty this little barrel was. It deserved a home on my CZ 527.
I was going to build the other mini test this cartridge then sell it on but somewhere along the line the 6x45 really grew on me.

I have another 6mm 1-10" twist trueflite heavier profile barrel that I could fit to the other mini Mauser in 6x45 or a lighter 1-9" .223rem if someone wants it?
I had changed my plans to possibly opening up the bolt face and making something on the Russian case bases such as a .22 Grendel, .22 PPC, 6mmPPC, 6.5 Grendel or a subsonic .338 Grendel.
I was going to do a bit of a build thread for it then flick it off but I happy to listen to suggestions at this stage.
