.32 GM in GPR?

[bearbelch]

I'm looking for a .32 cal and saw in TOW that they sell a GM barrel that can be made to fit in the GPR. Anyone have one and if so how much work did you need to do to your stock for it to fit? Can you go back and forth between barrel's (.50 & .32) with ease?

Thanks!

Switching them back and forth is the easy part. Carrying a .32 barrell in a GPR is going to be the hard work. Can you say heavy? :redface:

Boy is that gonna be heavy, you will earn every squirrel you take with it.

I had a 32 barrel for my Lyman trade rifle and it was really heavy, too much in fact. The GPR is going to be a load.

you don't have to do any work to the stock. you can use a t-c bolster but you will have to work on it a little to make it work. that is what i used on my .40 x 34" barrel in my gpr. i shot it for years in the offhand and woodswalks. it had some weight but not bad you get used to it. i have just goten a extra trade rifle stock so i am putting that barrel in it.

i shot with a guy that had a .36 x 30" sharon barrel on a trade rifle stock he liked it to.

Welcome to the forum,,there is ton's of info here.

I live near track,,I believe the GM/I.B.S. to Great plains is a custom job by their gun smith William, there are/has been many requests to do so for years. It's a matter of changing the lug mounts and rail.
Yes, it's a simple change over,,BUT,,the Breech hook on the barrel usually needs a bit of fileing to fit proper the first install. A simple matter really. Instructions to do so should be included.
As others say,,that's a HEAVY barrel!

I have one and it's not all that heavy. It is 4" shorter than the stock GPR barrel.
Had to file the hook and the rail a little.
