Why you buy a barrel, of course.

So I pulled the trigger (actually, I pulled the credit card) this afternoon on a spanking new .58 caliber 1:70 twist GM barrel for the Virtuous Cousin. That sucker cost $190 + $15 shipping from Pecatonica River Long Rifle Supply. It was the last one they had. I sure hated paying retail - but GM shows no sign of going back into production of fifty-eights and they're getting pretty scarce.

Now I can rest at ease. My Renegade obsession is sated with a nice balanced set of four - the scoped Sinful Sisters (.45 caliber 1:30" twist; .50 caliber 1:28" twist; .54 caliber 1:70" twist) and the soon to arrive .58 caliber 1:70" twist (which will remain unscoped and virtuous).

I think I have enough. I'll never catch up with Cayugad, Sabotloader, and Bronko anyway.
