I have a Van Horn non-tapered 20" carbine barrel in 45 Colt.

The only thing I don't like about it is that I only have one...

   I have a Van Horn 6.5X225 which is the 6.5JDJ in discuise  ,15" bull, most accurate barrel I own.  I've shot several 5 shotgroups under 1/2" with it, not all the time though, I'm not a consistant sub MOA shooter, but the barrel is certenly capable.   I also have  a 38-55 20"  barrel by Van Horn, which shoots well but I just don't use my carbine barrels on the contender much so it is up for sale.   I had actually ordered this barrel as a 24" but it came in as a 20", fine barrel but just not exactly what I'd ordered.

I have a 21" .221FB straight bull that does a pretty good job for me.
