:lol: :lol: found a guy to do my old 1894 octagon barrel ! we are going to make a 44-56 out of it!
going to speed up the twist to 1:18 rather than the 1:38 as in the 20'' barrel! ;) going for distance
with this 26'' barrel !!1 if that works out than we go to Green Mountain and get a custom 32'' barrel made
:mrgreen: always fun to dream ..... but it all usually comes to be !!!! Ol Deuce

................44-56 :lol: :lol: :lol:
