Default New GM barrel in

Well, my new stainless GM LRH 50 cal barrel arrived today. It looks pretty sharp on that dark walnut stock with the stainless lock and hardware. Pictures to follow.

Well I got off my butt and took a pic or two of the Silver Elite with the GM Stainless barrel on it. I took the stainless ramrod barrels off the T/C barrel and swapped them out with the black one on the GM barrel. Looks pretty good if I must say so myself.Only trouble is that the T/C barrel is slightly less than a full 15/16" and the GM barrel is exactly 15/16" so it is pretty tight going in. I may have to open the barrel channel slightly.

Looks fine Bronko. You going to make it a sinner and put a scope on it?

Thanks. I was hoping it wouldn't be too gaudy. No scope - NEVER. Hopefully tomorrow or Sunday I will get it out. Looks like its gonna stop raining for a couple days.

That's purdy bronko! I'd switch those tru-glo sights out for iron ones if it were me.
