New 45-70 SS ULTRA
« on: January 22, 2008, 09:30:22 AM »
Anyone know what kind of rifling the new offering will have. If the barrel is made by Marlin might the the rifling be deep cut Ballard type??

I may have a more specific answer on Friday, H&R is currently making their own button rifled 45-70 carbon steel barrels, but they may not be able to do the stainless, more later.

FYI I was told these barrels won't be available until summer for us with purchasing in mind.

Accessory barrels are seldom, if ever, available before the complete rifles on new offerings, that's the norm, this topic is about the rifles. ;)
