This is a tough one but your picture shows that it is an eight-groove bbl. The way the barrel is machined leads me to believe that it was turned and machined from a barrel blank that GunPartsCorporation has. Perhaps from one of their Anschutz blanks; is it stainless or carbon steel? If it is stainless then I have no idea!

[billy]

carbon thanks! it was made a few years ago by a local gunsmith genius who has passed away. so i cant ask him! its kinda hard to describe the finish ,silvery sparkly? is that even a word?its smooth ,not matte like parkerized finishes. but all the old guys around here rave about this mans work!

What is the diameter of the bbl?

[billy]

1.005in.

[Vintovki]

Billy,
Take a look at the chamber end of the bbl, is there a "c" stamp visible anywhere?

[billy]

if there is its under the drilled and tapped scope rail that is mounted on the bbl. that looks like its epoxied on there

is that an odd diameter for a bbl.?

[Vintovki]

Billy,
Most commercially made bbls are .920" at the muzzle, this is what leads me to believe your was made from a bbl blank

i just looked up the smith that made this rifle Floyd Wine. i never got the chance to meet the man but this guy was a gun guru. all kinds of shooting awards ,well known expert, did things for MIDWAY and built some guns while he lived here in durango. the fella that i bought the gun from is a well respected gun expert champion in his own right and he garanteed that i could cover 10 shots with a dime.

BTW the seller is a man i trust . if he says itll do it, then id better find out what ammo it wants!

[billy]

btw it has a 17 3/4 in. bbl. does that mean anything?
