.45 Colt barrel length
« on: September 16, 2007, 01:01:56 PM »
Sent my receiver in for a .45 Colt barrel.  It was advertised as being: part # 45LC and described as 44 colt 22".  Brochure typo there.  When I got it (haven't shot it yet) I measured the barrel and it is only 20 inches long instead of the 22.  Not that I don't mind the shorter barrel but was wondering if when I order the .223 bbl is it going to be 20 instead of 22 inches like its advertised?  Oh the joy...now I want a 28 ga and .410 bbl too.  Does it ever cease???   Hope not.  ;D

Its a carbine when you buy it as a complete gun. Off the top of my head this length seems correct. I can run down and measure mine, but I know its shorter than a reg handi barrel. Because its the only one, I am sure that's the reason for the typo. To my knowledge H&R or NEF doesnt make a 20" 223 so I wouldn't worry.

20" is correct, if you look at the rifle specs, you'll see it.

All of the Superlight barrels are 20", including the 223. ;)
