Oh damn Tarbe, if i had a barrel i'd send it to ya, just gave my 'smith a 1 of 3000 45-70 round carbine barrel off my Browning '86 i had Turnbull make into a 50-110 WCF, hope it all pans out for you.
Thanks for the nice thought!
I think I have it all sorted, now that my head is at least halfway out of my posterior....:)
