Finally got a .50 cal Huntsman barrel.
« on: January 07, 2012, 11:18:36 AM »
Been waiting for about 4 years for a barrel and i found one on Gunbroker.com. It fit perfect to my frame (sb2) and i took it to the range and put 6 round balls thru it. I still need to sight it in better but i will another day...Bob

I know its been a while but i did shoot some more today. I got it sighted in on a 6" steel plate at 60 yards and it shoots real well with open sights. Using 80 grains of 3F and Hornady .50 cal lead balls both handheld and off a rest of piled up shirts...Bob
