    Thanks for the lock info. I did go to their site and they have a lock listed for 49.00 that looks to be smaller and would work for a pistol. I appreciate the responces here, thanks folks. swamp_thing

    The rate of twist is something that I did not take into consideration. I don't even remember at this point what it was. I picked the barrels up a couple of years ago for next to nothing and at the time I knew the rate of twist. Now I will have to check and see what it is. I appreciate the...
