Barrel weights

[rabjr]

Anyone know what a 32" 13/16 straight barrel in .36 cal would weigh? Also the same in .40 cal?

 

weights are available on the GM website or about any of the auppliers websites.

The lightest barrel available a few years back was the 13/16" .45 caliber in 36" length. A 3/4" .36 cal might be lighter, they didn't have them then.

I was making a lightweight poorboy due to back surgery. I got it down to 5 1/2 lbs. You talk about one slinder rifle! Lock stock and barrel, two lock screws and a sheet metal rr thinble. It is the best shooting gun I have owned for the past 10 years.

My wife confiscated the gun on sight after we met.

Hi

My TOW catalog shows the
13/16 X36"
32cal,at 4.67lb
the 36cal== 4.45lb
the 40cal== 4.20lb

that might give you some idea I hope it helps

Using Samuel's numbers, if we divide them by 36 and multiply the answer by 32 it should give the answer to your question.

That answer would be"
32 cal = 4.15 lbs
36 cal = 3.96 lbs
40 cal = 3.73 lbs
