Green Mountain Barrels

[moleeyes36]

While looking over barrel choices for a future project I took a look at GM's website and noticed that they seem to have really cut down on the number of traditional ML barrels they offer.  There are fewer calibers offered in the different size barrels and their swamped barrels aren't listed at all.  Has anyone heard why they seen to have stopped offering a lot of their barrels?

Sorry to be the one to tell you, but Green Mountain has stopped production of their black powder barrels. Except for straight barrels.

I'm building a Bucks County rifle now using a 38 inch GM "B" profile swamped barrel and it looks like a very nice barrel.  It's a shame to see them stop making those barrels.  They were a good source of well made barrels without the long wait so common with most of the custom barrel makers.  As I noted in my original post, GM doesn't have much selection in the straight octagon barrels offered now either.  I guess the drift of new ML shooters to mass produced in-line guns is starting to hurt the makers of non-custom traditional guns and their components.  What a shame.

The Bucks County Rifle I'm building now is one of Tip's parts kits and has a GM "B" weight swamped barrel.  I'm just grousing about the lack of GM barrels for future projects
