Fast twist hawken barrel

[glockky]

Just wanted to check and make sure this barrel would be a drop in fit on my 50 cal TC hawken.

I thought these barrels were pretty much unobtainable so I wasn’t sure I was looking at the right thing.

 

[GM54-120]

Long Range Hunter Barrel for T/C Hawken Rifle,
.50 caliber, 1-28" fast twist for bullet, 15/16" octagon, 28" length,
blued, 4.9 lb, percussion, new, by Green Mountain Rifle Barrel Co.

Sure looks like the right thing. Sometimes GMB makes runs for vendors but wont offer them on their own website. Looks like TOW had some made.

These have actually been available on TOTW for awhile now, but only in the 15/16” that i have Seen. The 1” Breech Plugs are the issue/hangup on the 1” Barrels. Pete Allen (Foundary) is who Made them for everyone I believe? He is up in Age, and Hasn’t made any in years. The 1” Breech Plugs are nearly impossible to Find. Rice is DEFINITELY the way to go there!

My advice on the 1” Plugs is to go with Rice, I spoke with Jason of Rice Barrels Recently and he told me that they are Making the 1” Breech Plugs, and instead of being Cast, they are Machined. I need to get 1 of these 1” Plugs from Jason Soon and get on this 32” (Caliber unspecified ) Long Range Build i have “Back Burnered”
