What to do with this barrel
« on: August 24, 2019, 03:21:03 AM »
I've just come into possession of a 40 cal 38" octagon to round barrel and really don't know what to do with it. Are OTR barrels specific to any school or style?

Dimensions? I.E. Width at breech, muzzle, in between?

I don't have the dimensions right now because Dave Keck has it inletting it into a piece of maple. It's an "A" weight barrel.

Greetings,

There is a Joe Long percussion rifle with an OTR barrel shown in "The Kentucky Rifle and Me" by Edith G. Cooper.  It seems to be the odd-man-out as the the other dozen or so Joe Long guns shown all have octagon barrels.

Best wishes with the project.  Please do share what direction you go with it.
