Weight of barrels per inch

[gard72977]

Does anyone have a weight chart for barrels per inch. I know I have seen one before.

I wanting my gun to come out in the 10lb range.
The original had a 40.5" barrel that is 1" dia.
The owner says the gun weighs 10.1 lbs. What im seeing is todays barrels may be heavier steel.

Can any one give me weights for
40cal 1" straight barrel 40.5"
40cal 15/16 straight barrel 40.5"
40cal 15/16 to 7/8 straight taper 40.5"

Thanks

That does not look like it works for octagon barrels. ?

A 1" 40 is kind of an odd ball and hard to find in current charts,
Why not call a barrel maker?

Using the bath room scale, weighing me with and without the barrel, my 1" across the flats GM drop in .40 x 38" long barrel weighs nine pounds. That's just the barrel, not the stock or ramrod.

Six pounds for the 28" barrel.

40 cal -

15/16" AFT, 40.5" long, 6.6 lbs - 6 lbs 9'ish oz (2.6oz/inch)

1" ATF, 40.5" long, 7.5 lbs - 7 lbs 8 oz (3 oz/inch)

1" to 15/16" tapered, 40.5" long, 7.25 lbs, 7 lbs 4 oz (2.85 oz/inch)

Depending on the stock you could have a 10 pound rifle with a 1" ATF 40 cal barrel - minimal furniture, no patch box, slim wrist (so not impossible).

I have a 7/8" X 36" 50 cal full-stock Ohio on the bench right now and it weighs almost 8 pounds - with a 40 cal barrel it would be almost 9 pounds.

With a 1" barrel it would go 10 pounds in 50 cal and close to 12 with a 1"/40 cal at 40 1/2" (and can't imagine carrying that).

do the calculations for the barrel weight of one caliber, and then calculate the volume of extra steel in your smaller caliber. Steel weighs approximately 490 pounds per cubic foot.

I recently decided on a 38 caliber 48" barrel. By the calculations, the extra steel will add approximately 2.85 oz. to the build over using a 40 cal.

I believe there is a chart in the Dixie Gunworks catalog that lists weight per inch for various barrel diameters and calibers.
