Swamped barrel.

[Crow#21957]

If i had known years ago about swamped barrels then my guns would all be swamped.
The octagon rifled ones.

I didn’t know as kid in the late 1960s that they were called ‘swamped’, but I learned at Colonial Williamsburg as that kid that barrels were larger across at the rear, tapered towards the middle and then flared towards the muzzle.

l learned real fast when I shouldered a custom rifle made by a very talented acquaintance. It felt very light and balanced as opposed to my straight barrel builds.

I like these barrels. My Kibler SMR is much better balanced than my Pedersoli Frontier.
