New GM barrel

[Rick Butler]

Well Sunday I ordered a drop in GM replacement barrel for my 54 cal. caplock T/C Hawken that I picked up used at a Gun Show for 125.00. I bought the 32" barrel and it dropped right into the stock with no modification whatsoever. Gotta wait till next week to get to the range though and try it out. Then hopefully this Spring I'll take it on a Boar hunt.

Well now, congrats on your new barrel but give us the details man....same caliber???Is it for RB or fast twist? Us Yoopers need to know... :wink:

 

[Rick Butler]

Yup, same caliber with a 1:70 twist for roundballs. I must say I was really expecting to have to do some modification to the gun or the hammer. Was pleasantly surprised when everything, literally,dropped into place.

Let us know how the new barrel shoots. I am looking at getting the same barrel myself.

 

I've got a GM barrel for my 50 cal with a 1 in 70 ROT and I love it. It shoots like a charm!

I replaced my T/C Renegade 50 cal. barrel with the Green Mountain 50, 1:70 twist. It dropped in perfectly and is beautifully accurate.

Got two of them for my Renegade. A 54 and a 58. Liked them so much that I found a used Renegade stock, took down the comb, re-finished it and put the 58 on it. Thinking about building a stock for the 54 so I can leave the original 54 26" barrel on the kit stock I did 30 years ago. Very accurate barrels at 100 yards.
