If anyone has a rolling block carbine I would appreciate it if you could measure the muzzle diameter, rear diameter forward of the barrel extension and maybe a midpoint diameter. No matter what country it was from, but need it for .458 or larger. If the barrel is a straight taper, that's good too. I am cutting a taper on a 45-70 barrel and need original dimensions to complete a barrel 18 1/2" in length. Thanks for your consideration.

My 43 caliber Rem LB Carbine with 20" bbl is .982 at the breech, .760 at the tip of the forehand grip and .649 at the muzzle.

Don't forget there is a lug on the bottom for the forend stock.
