I recently got a 28” 1:48 twist Investarms barrel off of eBay - it was from a Bridger kit gun that never got put together. It was in the white and unfired.
The tang hook and snail are the same as the one on my GPR, but of course there was only one barrel lug, so I fabricated the ones I needed from 3/8” bar stock and soldered them in place.
Also had to cut a new rear dovetail and installed a semi buckhorn sight from L&R. The barrel was drilled and tapped, but I don’t like that style of sight. Also added a nickel silver front sight, and a ramrod for a shorter Pedersoli rifle from TOW. Blued everything with 44/40.
Now I just need to go shoot and develop a load for it.
Fun stuff!
