I looks worse then the photos show. And you can definitely see the bulge from inside the barrel. Not sure if you can see the bulge, but the bulge runs a little over an inch long. Very pronounced!

I went to the Green Mountain website and they didn't have my barrel. They did have a .50 cal barrel in carbine length (21"). I did write them an email and will see what they say. That .50 barrel was only $149.95. A great price, but I have a .50 cal barrel already.[/QUOTE]

I think they stopped making .54 caliber barrels for some stupid reason. If that is true, we should try to do something to get them to NOT stop making them. Who else makes a long, .54 caliber, slow twist round ball barrel?
