    Confused about GAP Barrel Contours

    Re: Confused about GAP Barrel Contours GA Precision's #7 contour (The standard barrel on their Crusaders) is the same as Bartlein's #14. Unfortunately there is no standard among rifle manufacturers or barrel makers. The easiest thing is just say you want an M24/M40 Contour.
