After many years of acquiring barrels I made the mistake of laying them all out on the floor one night. My wife asked me how much money was tied up in all of "THIS"? I took the high road and said she didn't want to know.

Honestly, I have all the barrels I want or could ever need..... wait, look, there's another!!

I notice the barrels with 3-4 rings. Are those true big bores or toys?...I love big bores...WWKMAG, especially pistols.

I see you are a HHI member. Also very nice calibers. I was a HHI member in the 80's and part of the 90's.Very nice club also wrote some stories back then. I have a 12.5" SSK 45/70 contender with full length rib and a 2x leupold. It shoots very well.
I have taken a number of deer with it, plus 2 cape buffalo in Africa with it. I have had other ssk calibers also, and have had the 45/70 since 1986. I made my own wildcat in 1993 and have been using that since. I call it a 445wwk. Blown out 45/70 case necked down to accept 44 mag bullets, mainly the 300xtp. Nice to talk to you. Have fun shooting...WWKMAG
