That short octagonal section gives the overall barrel a stretched look. Nice.

Wow Dave! That's literally half the weight of my 13/16" .45 cal barrel.

I think if I get one of them in the full round profile I could make a later period gun.

Rice impresses again. I will almost certainly get in touch with them for a custom barrel when the time comes.

Who makes the lightest profile octagon to round 20 ga fowler barrel?
Looking at 42-46" length  and wanting to make a proper lightweight fowler.

One would have to be very careful of the alloy and how deep they cut the “wedding bands”. 4140/4150 gun barrel quality would be a good idea. ANY mill run alloy can have flaws that one does not want in a gun barrel.
