Title: Any Interest in this Little Barrel ?
Post by: davec2 on April 07, 2017, 07:28:37 AM

A while back I asked if anyone knew where to get a barrel like the one I made a sketch of and put in this post.....

The barrel was the one used on this little rifle that I finished for Richard Newman.  Here is the link to the rifle in work....Finished pictures at the end....

At any rate, I could not find a barrel like this one, so I contacted Charles at FCI and sent him a professional drawing of the barrel (not just that little sketch in the first link).  I asked him if he could make a barrel like this for me and he responded that he certainly could.  The barrel would run $260 plus shipping.  I'm going to have him make one for me.  Just thought I would pass the word along in case anyone else was looking for a nice, light barrel for a child's or lady's rifle.  Might make Charles life easier if he can make more than one when he sets up to do this.

I think I might be interested in a barrel like that.  My little girl is about to turn 5, and someday I'd like to build a rifle for her. 
I wouldn't mind buying it now, and letting it sit until the right time.

Cheers,
Norm

Chowmi,

I just ordered two from Charles at FCI.  If you contact him directly I'm sure he could make a third.
