RE: W/B a .44 barrel - Kurt - 12-23-2014
Mike Paul stamped the barrel 16 twist .4495 groove.
When I picked the rifle up I asked John are you sure you put the right barrel on this? and he said I don't get to many .44's with a .438 bore they are all .429-.432" very seldom a .438"
I the asked what did the bore measure? and he pin gaged it .438" That makes the groove almost .002" per side deeper then what I ordered.
This might not be an issue. I haven't shot it enough yet to know for sure.

Kurt, Yes, that is deep. Now I'm eager for you to shoot it just to see how it acts. Shoot sharp, Mike
