Getting ready to do a 94. Going from 30-30 to 38-55.
The barrel may not index correctly when tightened. So a lathe may be needed to set the shoulder back. Headspace is the rim depth. That will need checked. And as always. Pictures would be nice. |

Thanks for the reply I did a very quick cursory check but didnt come across any barrels like I am wanting...would I have to get a barrel blank and have it cut and crowned to the length I want? Any good manufacturers out there I should be looking at I was going to give Green mountain barrels a call next week and see if they can help me any others?

I'm looking at a factory take off. That will probably be your cheaper option. Green mountain is a good choice but will need threaded.

If the idea is to have the ultimate brush gun --- why go with the heaviest barrel profile available (octagon that is)
---- probably easier to find a 20 or 24" octagon barrel and have that cut down --- cutting new dovetails for the sights and mag tube dovetail is a "bread n butter" job for most gunsmith's |
