I need to draw on the knowledge of the group. I bought a 24” 1-3/8” diameter barrel blank and want to keep as much of the length and diameter as reasonably possible. My buddies tease me about wanting a “tractor axle” barrel.
My plan was a barrel stub on a single shot break action, but I’ve struck out twice going that route. One fellow has passed away and the other wanted to chamber for 38 special instead of 9mm. I’m about 99% sold on 9x19 and 1% for 380acp with thoughts of reaming to 9mm later.
If someone has lugs and could make it into an Encore barrel, I’d be happy as a hog in slop!
What platform would you pick to make it happen?
Thanks in advance!
