I have a 788 22-250 with a 24" heavy taper barrel. I have seen a 22-250 with the 18.5" carbine barrel. I always assumed it was a factory gun. But who knows. My stepson has a 788 22" light taper in 243. I can not tell by the pictures I get not logged in, if that 788 is a heavy taper or bull barrel.

The anti American Constitutional party (Democrat). Wants to dismantle your rights, limiting every aspect of your constitutional rights. Death by 1000 cuts is the tactic. Each cut bleeds constitutional rights to control you. Control is the goal.
