22 cal barrel weight
« on: January 26, 2010, 09:36:08 AM »
I'm looking for someone who can tell me what a 22 cal 12 inch Contender barrel would weigh.  I have the the rest of the parts, but need to make sure that the 12 inch barrel will still be under my 5 lb weight limit.   Thanks for your help.   BTW:  I called T/C as well as the Custom Shop and was not able to get the info from them.

If this is a matter where ounces count, we would probably need to know exactly which .22 cal cartridge you'd be shooting.  .22 LR?  Magnum?  .222 or .223 Remington?  .226 JDJ?  All are .22 caliber, but have different chamber dimensions, and thus different amounts of steel still left in the barrel.

If some one has both a 10" bull and 14" barrel weight, I'll bet you could come real close just doing the simple math.
