Barrel weight question
« on: February 12, 2011, 07:48:26 AM »
Hello, Anyone know a ballpark weight for a swamped 38" .62 cal barrel as compared to a .58 cal 38" swamped? Thank you

Only listing I could find in those calibers is Colerain, 37".  .58 is 5.0lbs, .62 is 4.5lbs.  would think others would have a similar wt. diff.

There's a chart on Rice's web page. The profiles are similar, but there are some errors in the chart.

I also thought there were some errors on the Rice's barrel weight chart.....but I was reading it wrong.  :-[  Jason straightened me out.    Example 3.13lbs means 3 lbs, 13 ounces.  All the weights seem to make sense now.

I'm toying with the idea of a swivel rifle in the future. I will have to do a lot more thinking considering those weights.
