Pete,
What caliber?
I mean they were all standard barrels, and came on "C" or "LAST" frames I believe, but there were a lot of extras.
I have a 10.5" in 45 Win Mag. Shoots great.

| Jason, how do your cases hold up? I had case separation with that cal. Just blew right off. |

Not that I have shot mine a lot, but no trouble, other than the Win 230 gr FMJ's wouldn't cycle the action.
The Winchester Super X 260 gr worked great, they now only load the Supreme, I'd rather have the Super X in the Silver Box. Hope they do a run again sometime.

| It is a 44 Caliber. I just was wondering why they changed barrels, probably out of stock on the original vent rib. |

If you wanted a longer barrel, one could only get an 8 1/2 or 10 1/2 inch NON vent rib barrel.. |

Rick, Most, if not all, AMC marked barrels I have seen have been 8.5 or 10.5 NON Vent Rib. Jason |

| What do the markings on the bbl say ? Looks like a lot of after market work ? |

It is a TDE/OMC, and there is some aftermarket work done to it. The hammer and trigger are jeweled, the frame is polished but not the barrels, there are aftermarket grips which I have never seen elsewhere, and one of the Mags has for lack of a better description a finger rest.
