Squirrel rifle

[MuskratMike]

Mike Lyons: I did just talk with Jason at Rice. The 44-inch A weight swamped in .32 is lighter than their 42, 45 or 46 inch comparable barrels. Completed rifle should come in at 7 to 7 1/2 pounds. I do believe we are talking about the same barrel. Add to that this would be historically correct length for the type of rifle I am considering.

I think Jason just makes a few runs of the squirrel barrels only once in a while.  When I had my .32 built he had already sold all the barrels from the previous run.  He recommended I get an "A" wgt transition barrel which I did.  That barrel was plenty light.

Hanshi,
Don't you end up with ground squirrel?
Pun intended.

The squirrel gets ground up for stews anyhow, so what's wrong with grinding it up before I even get home?  Have to lookout for bones, though.
