.550" ish on my 20b's

Must have a different barrel on the long action Forbes? Or it's not the original barrel on RH Clarks as he says his muzzle diameter is a good bit larger yet your 20b is .550" while most Montanas finish .560" at the muzzle.

Wonder what's up with RH Clarks fatty barrel on the his Forbes.


I'll pick up one of those HF calipers next week and let you know for sure. It's hard to tell how much by my limited measuring means but my 24B barrel is larger diameter than my 84M Montana.I was just thinking it is because mine is a 24B instead of a 20B. I don't know if it makes any difference but mine was one of the first 20 made.
