45/70 barrel diameter

[black lab]

Would anyone know the diameter of the factory tapered barrel of the current production SB2 framed 45/70 synthetic stocked rifles 10" from the breach  ?

Mine is 0.90" exactly at 10" from breech end.

Thanks, I needed that for a stock order. Tim would have told me to look in the FAQ but I could n't find it.

Those measurements aren't in the FAQs......yet, maybe if enough people ask!

Thanks for taking the time to measure that for me Tacklebury. I need it for a stock order for a 45/70 rifle that is back ordered until mid March.    Thanks Tim for all the good stuff in the FAQ incredible resource

I wish we had a sticky for barrel weights.  I have a 3 Lb postal scale that is very accurate and I've never found a shotgun barrel I couldn't weight.  However, I've never seen a rifle barrel I could.  I've found Handi rifles heavy.  Pardner shotguns are a super light.  My 12 gauge 28" weighs 5 lb 6.5 oz and balances great.  Gotta keep away from the high brass loads though.  She do kick.

There are a couple barrel weights in the FAQs, 45-70 and 45 Colt. I've weighed a few others before scoping them and posted the weights, but forgot to put em in the FAQs, if I find em, I'll add em.
