different barrel contours?

[Neilgleason]

Does anyone have a guide chart of different barrel companies countours in comparison to each other's. For example like telling what contours would be most similar to a different barrels?

 

[Edd]

All the barrel makers I'm familiar with have contour charts on their websites.

...in comparison to each other's.

He's looking for one chart with all of the contours shown in comparison to all the rest, not separate charts.

Yea sorry kinda new to this so I was just wondering if anyone had made a spreadsheet or something. I know I can go back and forth and figure it out but it's kind of a pain in the butt lol.

Kinda a broken question the way it's asked. Barrel companies don't really have their own contours for the most part. The bulk of them will profile a barrel to match any of a number of factory or otherwise standardized contours. There's often a little variation between barrel makers' versions of this or that standard but not enough to say grace over.

You can pretty much break the availabel contours up as hunter (aggressively curved short taper right off the chamber, long slight straight taper to muzzle), palma (short bull from chamber, then short aggressive taper after chamber, then long slight straight taper to muzzle), varmint/target (short bull from chamber, long slight straight taper to muzzle), and various diameters of full bull (no taper) and then there are the oddballs which mix and match elements of the above. You're either dealing with an untapered pipe, or one that uses tapers. Tapers can either be curved or straight tapers and may be long or short and anywhere from aggressive to slight.

Thanks a lot guys! Really helpful

 

[Edd]

Was there something specific that you were wanting to know?

 

[Neilgleason]

Not really edd. Just trying to find a few different stocks for different barrels and keep getting myself mixed up. Thanks though
