I have a 14 inch pistol barrel but it is not for sale. I have never sold a T/C barrel I did not have a Duplicate of and traded more of them than i sold.

The Carbine barrels are much harder to find than the pistol barrels as the carbine kits sold many less than pistols. Of course never place a pistol barrel on a carbine stock as that is illegal.

Lots of times i had to buy a whole collection of barrels, frame and Optics to get the ones i wanted and traded off the rest. I have some old octagon barrels in weird calibers and special runs from t/c those seem to bring the collectors money.

Sometimes you will see the .222 in the used section attached to a frame as the .223 is easier to feed cheaply. . I have also bought some that did not work out real well such as a 14 inch 45-70 barrel i could not get 5 inch 50 yard groups with.

With the custom barrels you can get just what 1:7 1:9 1:12 1:14 twist, lenght/chamber you want and a accuracy of MOA or your money back plus shipping. Habits are hard to feed.
