hey folks, not sure if this one has been covered in past but is anyone doing a survey on 30 inch barrels. I would be curious to know the numbers known on surviving examples in round, octagon and half octagon, plus what caliber they are. if anyone has one please tune in or if you know of one that can be validated. cheers
thanks for the link to the past thread. I just got my 25-35 18 99C home here..it is 30 inch and very high condition. I purchased it from the John wright collection. he had notes attached that it was purchased at savage fest 2007 from doug faery. has factory letter with it and all checks out fine.
Know a fellow from Ft Smith Ark area that has one, can't remember the cal. I f someone compiles a list and needs the information I will obtain the info from him. Wasn't for sale. GW
