Are T/C barrels on a New Englander interchangable?
« on: February 04, 2007, 11:17:49 AM »
Hi, I'm new to the forum and could use a little help with a question. I want to get a 12 gauge barrel for a T/C New Englander from Fox Ridge Outfitters. Can It be used on a 50 cal New Englander stock? I also have a Pennsylvania carbine that I would like to order the full length barrel for. Will that interchange as well? Any help appreciated. Thanks. Dave. ???

I had a New Englander, 50cal some years ago. I had special ordered a 12ga bbl for it from Fox Ridge.  The 12ga bbl fit just as well as the original 50.
Be aware that that add on 12ga bbl weighs about as much as the 50cal bbl, and is not thin walled like you would find on a fowler or other traditional shotgun.

T/C Catalog # 19 shows the New Englander available with .50, .54, and 12 guage accessory barrels. My New Englander, has a .50, and a .54 barrel, both interchangeable. I do not have the 12 guage. The same catalog lists the Penn. Hunter Rifle, and Carbine. Rifle with 31" barrel, and carbine with 21" barrel. Rifle is 48" overall length, and carbine is 38" overall length. Stocks look the same. You do the math. It lists the Carbine barrel as an accessory. The T/C Custom Shop, at Fox Ridge Outfitters will know for sure.
