Colrain vs Green Mountain?
Looking at barrels for my muzzleloading project.....considering either a colrain or a Green mountain barrel, but I don't know much about either one. Anyone have any opinions on one or the other? I've heard good about both, and to be perfectly honest, I haven't heard anything bad about either one.
Thanks in advance............

Mr. 16 gauge,

I never saw a Colrain barrel. The Green Mountain barrels were very popular in NH.

Mr 16 gauge

I have shot Green Mountain Barrels for 30 years,and although not the Cadillac of BP barrels ,they are reliable and straight shooters if properly taken care of. IMHO.

Im doing a Lancaster Golden Age with a 45 cal Colrain on it right now. Give me a month of Carving and I will let you know how she shoots. This is my first Colrain so I cant offer any advise yet.

You can be sure on that. Very slow process. I'm trying very hard to make this as close to a Dickert as possible. I have to say, She don't look bad.
