I'm putting together a sml with an encore stainless standard bbl. I have a REM 700 .for the ram rod. Problem is OD of bbl is .720 and ID of thimble is .820. And suggestions to make up difference in size. Also does anyone have a pro hunter fluted 45/70 bbl. What is OD on bbl at muzzle. I haven't sent this bbl off to slufoot yet, thought I might need to get pro hunter bbl because it appears in pics to be bigger OD. Thanks for any help

one suggestion is to get a 3 piece ram rod from Luke...comes in a nice pouch to wear on belt...I personaly dont like a rod on the rifle while hunting..I get branch snags at times...Lukes rod is very nice and strong...cheaper than a barrel upgrade I bet

I made a couple aluminum sleeves for ratsnakeboogey, he doesn't have a review on them for you because I have failed to get them shipped to him. Better get around to that!

Thanks for any help I have a stainless fluted prohunter 45-70 barrel as well as standard barrels. I'll measure it in the next few days for you. Problem is you can find the 20" Katahdin ( I've got one of those too) but the 26" prohunter is scarce as hen's teeth. I looked 18 months and finally lucked into one. Haven't seen another one.

Ratsnakeboogey, thanks for the info. I found someone that has a pro hunter bbl in a weatershield. I bought the stainless bbl, but am now thinking I might be better off with the fluted one.

I'd buy it just to have, but that barrel band will not work with it. Way to big of a barrel if I remember right. I'm hoping the spacers that Cole made me will work out.
