    Swamped vs straight barrel on .40

    So I did make a few changes to my order! Thanks again for all the great info! Greatly appreciated! I now have a 13.5 length of pull and a Siler lock, I kept the straight barrel as somehow I feel it suits the rifle, and also I used plain wood as I’m thinking the dark stain will pretty much cover...

    Swamped vs straight barrel on .40

    I like the idea of a swamped barrel but I think on cost alone I will go with straight, I live in Canada and the rifle with exchange will be in the $1500 range a added 400 $ will be too much on this rifle, I just want to get the best I can afford. Thanks for the reply’s everyone! Greatly appreciated

    Swamped vs straight barrel on .40

    Thanks everyone, LawrenceA I do like the poor boy on price and looks, I’m not one for inlays and fancy odd ons, but do want a handy gun, for hunting and plinking. Larry that sounds like a beast of a rifle! I guess if you can handle that I can handle a little 36 inch haha
