Well, the weather finally broke today and I was able to get out shoot the new barrel I got on Monday.

This barrel is really old, it is a "K" barrel (K3380), and it is a Douglas, but itdoes not even have "Renegade" stamped on it. As you can see the breech plug even has a clean-out screw and is not contoured as the normal TC breech plug is. It is one of those that can removed with a TC breech plug wrench if you wanted to.

The bore did look good, not "unfired" as the seller thought, but I cleaned it all up and installed it in the stock - then waited for the weather - today was the day I would shoot it. I did bore sight it before I left for the rock pit because I did not want to take the time to sight it in - just wanted to shoot it.

Well here are the results. There are 12 shots in there all told. So the barrel is probably a shooter, and with fiber optic sights I am sure I could tighten it up quite a bit.

But when it is all said and done it really is not any better than the first factory barrel that I got off e-bay. So now this barrel will be relegated to become a project barrel. At some point I strip it and I will re-blue the whole thing. Possibly install new fiber optic sights, or even sale it - - just not sure and there is no rush...
