You gotta get a 30-30.  The old thutty-thutty never shined until it met the Contender in a 23-24" barrel with spire pointed bullets!  You might also consider a 30-30 Ackley Improved!

You also left off the 223 and a 6.8 Rem and you forgot a 45 cal muzzleloader

Here is my carbine list...

s/s 16.5" custom shop factory taper 22LR match chamber
blued 23" factory bull 204 Ruger
s/s 21" factory taper 223

s/s 21" factory taper was 30-30 now 308X444
s/s 21" factory taper was 375 Win now 375JDJ
blued 18" custom shop factory taper 10mm
s/s 14" MGM bull 45 Colt
s/s 22" custom shop bull 45-70

I bought a Robinson Arms XCR-L earlier this year in 6.8spc I'm now liking the round so much that I'm thinking of adding a s/s 21" factory taper 6.8spc barrel to the list to fill the gap between .224" & .308".

I think I will add a .22lr to my list.

I dont know if anyone makes one, but I really want a .45/.410 carbine barrel

I think it's silly to list your carbine barrels and wether or not you think you have 'enough'. What childishness.

....but a 25-35 Win sure would round out my small barrel collection...  ;D
