	Long Range Barry is a very close and dear friend and he is on this site. If you send him a PM he still has his records and he can look up your barrel for you. He goes under old7groove and it might be something you would like to have to keep with your rifle. JLouis

	John, are you sure Barry Darr goes as "old7groove" on here? The last time he answered a question on this forum he answered it under the name "7groove " There is a person who goes by "old7groove", and I sent him a question eons ago about Darr barrels and never got a response. If both are Barry, then he isn't responding to any PM on the "old7groove" name.

	Vall he just recently responded to his Low Wall that was pictured as being a 32-40 in another post actually being a 28-30 using old7groove. I believe he was shooting the 3 day San Diego ISSA Regional over the weekend so it might take sometime for him see his PM's and to respond. JLouis

	The largest barrel I made was a 32-40 four inch diameter, 30 inches long weighing 105 lbs. fitted to a FBW action, the completed rifle tipped the scales at 115 lbs. Problem with a barrel of this size and weight is the inability to quickly hold off for conditions. I later milled the barrel to 3.625 octagon before selling it to someone who just couldn't live without it. It was later rebored to 45-70 by another barrelmaker. Val - let me know what questions you may have of my barrels. 7~

	"That Gordner rifle in this thread is one awful looking mess." I agree. Be aware that current ASSRA rules allow barrells no more than 2" in diameter or across the flats.

	Jeff does that also hold true fore those not considered to meet the Traditional rules. The reason I ask is I can't remember the size of 40 Rod's Big Dog rifle barrel and I am just to damn lazy to go and look. JLouis

	John built the "Big Dog" to be "legal" for ASSRA competition. But whether he was attempting to meet the "traditional" classification standards or not I don't recall---it might have been in a .32 short variation. Corky Taylor also built a heavy bench SS for ASSRA competition. I don't know if he ever completely finished it before he moved to FL, some years back. I think he had it at the range the last time I saw him there, but was still working on load development. As I recall it was built in a wildcat cartridge a 44 mag tapered down to 357. sort of like a 38 cal version of a 32 Miller Short.

	Bought this as a reciever, and barrel about 5 years ago. It is a #3 in 45-70. Ed larralde put the reciever and barrel together, barry darr did the rifleing. This is a very heay rifle have never wieghed it. Shoots extremely well with duplex loads.
