My S. Hawken has a 34" barrel, and would lose a lot of its grace if it were shorter.
A couple of us bought some of these used barrels at one of the on-line auctions , and when we got around to using them, they were all bored off center. Visions of a cheap gun evaporated instantly. There is usually a very good reason why these barrels are up for auction, and you have to be careful. With Track and others selling quality barrels for low prices, I don't believe I'll ever buy another auction barrel.
Thanks. Still trying to figure parts to make this first parts/practice rifle as good as I can. There is a 28 inch 62 on Ebay right now. That is CVA/TC Hawken barrel length, but it is shorter than I would like. It may go cheap enough to make it attractive. I would prefer a 36 or 38 inch barrel in 58, but don't want to spend a lot on this first learning attempt.
