I've always wanted one and I finally broke down and ordered it from Marty at Haus of Arms. It is a custom SSK barrel in .41mag. 18" long and tapered like the original carbine barrels. I can't wait to get out and shoot it before we get snow.

Nice! I really like that round. Don't have a Contender barrel in that yet but I keep looking for it. Have most of the others for it that I want. Just picked up a LNIB (never fired I think) 357Max this weekend.
Very nice. I’ve got a couple of the 10” 41mag barrels, but have never come across a carbine barrel.
As far as I know, T/C never made a carbine barrel in 41. That's why I had to go the custom route. Now with S&W dropping production of all T/C items custom is it. Dealing with Haus of Arms was painless. If I ever want anything T/C, they are the ones I'll contact.
Congrats on your acquisition!

I have a 14" 41 mag barrel. It is a joy to shoot. I am not a very good pistol shot but when I once (only once briefly due to federal law) tried it with a carbine stock, it did a tight cloverleaf of five shots at 100m yards. That barrel just loves 6.6 gr of Bullseye which is not exactly a barn burner of velocity. Congratulations and have fun with it. BTW - The T/C custom shop at Fox Ridge Outfitters did offer the carbine in 41 mag in any length from 21" on down. Sadly that outfit has long since gone away.
I sure remember Fox Ridge Outfitters! There were a lot of barrels I wanted to order but I had a family to take care of and cash went to other things. Now I can and no custom shop. The way Smith & Wesson is handling T/C, we may never see them again. Thank GOD for Marty at Haus of Arms and the custom barrel makers like SSK and MGM.
Daddy's Baby but with a 22 K hornet barrel. Can dot a mosquito's eye @ 150 yds that is only a slight exaggeration
Quillbilly, a 14" bbl is a great reason to register a frame as a SBR. $200 fee and a lot more control when out foraging.

Bubbadoyle, I think it would be best to talk to the ATF. I think the rules have changed over time and whether it originally started as a pistol or rifle.
That’s certainly the way to get the best answer. If I decided to go that route I’d have to deal with them anyway. I was just hoping to hear from someone who has maybe asked this before. I did do some research on it and found what I believe is the answer but I’d get it straight from the horses mouth before proceeding.
