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? :o
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.  ???
