Does anybody know the exact barrel contour of an FN PBR, or could somebody measure/mic their PBR barrel for me??? I have a 20" PBR action and I would like to have a stock made for it, but I can't find my calipers--It seems my 4 y/o daughter has "misplaced them":cry:

Thanks in advance

Don't know if this will help as I like my "muzzle blast" 4" further away than yours. :D

Barrel dia. closest to action: 1.140"
Thick part (shank ?) from action to beginning of the taper extends: 1.800"
Muzzle dia. .720"

I'm thinking your 20" is probably contoured a bit differently?

Thanks a bunch, MAINER--I finally found my calipers, and came up with somewhat similar measurements:

~ 1.125" @ the lug
~0.95" at the transition/step down
@ 11" from the lug ~0.85"
Continues to taper gradually to ~0.75" at the muzzle

Most everyone I have asked said this is somewhere between a 5 and 5.5 barrel contour.

In about 8 weeks, or so, I'll be able to stock this thing out and see how she runs.
