	I am never going to shot compition. But I want my High Wall 38-55 to shoot better than I can shoot! And I seem to hear a lot of good things about the GM barrel's. But then i hear that Badger is the best, or Douglas! So I guess I am asking is he Green Moutain barrels a good shootable barrel? Thanks ACE

	Greg, The Gunsmith Glenn Fewless, a regular contributor to the ASSRA Forum, a Guild Member, and the Gunsmith assembling and finishing this years ASSRA Single Shot Rifle, uses Green Mountain Barrels on his own single shot rifles. If a man of his great gunsmithing ability uses them, you can bet the farm that they are good. Glenn is a very good Long Range BP target rifle competitor. I just wish GM had an outlet over here in the U/K. Harry

	Green Mountain, Badger, Douglas, Shilen, RKS all make good barrels, sometimes a great barrel and once in a while a clunker. You pays your money you takes your chances. P.S. a poor fitting of the barrel to the action or a poor chambering job makes a hummer barrel a clunker. So buying the barrel gets you only half way home. 40 Rod

	Hi there Harry Eales: If you are interested in procuring a Green Mountain cartridge barrel, one of their U.S. retailers is "Track of the Wolf" which is a mail order house. Please see (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links) for details. The question becomes, do current U.S. laws forbid the shipment of rifle barrels in export trade. I have not researched that issue, but would be glad to help my Geordie friend with such additional information that you may require. How are things in Northumberland these days ? Creedmoormatch

	Don't ship them as rifle barrels. They are "Heavy guage spiral groove tubeing". They only become a rifle barrel after they are fitted and chambered. 40 Rod

Greg - I guess you didn't believe me when I responded to your same question on another forum that Green Mountain makes good barrels As I said, my 'El Cheapo' vintage 2003 H&R with the 38-55 GM barrel can knock down Rams consistently at 500m and the 45-70 GM barrel can put bullets in a 48x82" target at 1000yds .... Why wouldn't Green Mountain be good barrels? And shooting black powder with a vernier sight to boot! Plus I even provided you with the link shooting the 45-70 ...

I know, it shouldnt make a difference, but it does. Thats just the way it is. Lol ! Joe.

	Gun barrels are export controlled, you can take a risk but be prepared to pay the penalty if caught. The controls are not hard to comply with, you can use a broker who will do it all for you, at a price. It's just a couple of forms though. Chances of getting out of the US without a problem are good. Getting into another country mis declared chances of sucess are not good at all. Boats
