5 to 5 1/2 Barrel contour

Anyone have a pic of this barrel contour?
I'm thinking on going this contour for the next rifle build. Its going into a Stiller action with a 5.56 chamber, AICS stock. Thanks

5.5 contour is generally known as the Rem 700P and Sendero rifle barrels.

Thanks, I didn't know that.
So would this be the same contour as the REM LTR? I'm getting a 20" barrel?

Yes

Where can one find the "specs" for the barrel,(ie)the finished dia at the muzzle? the OD at the chamber?

I don't know for the LTR, but if I remember correctly my 700P's muzzle is about .875 and it's just under 1.2 at the breech.

Thanks that's what I'm looking for.I need a finished OD at the muzzle, less than .800 for the Surefire muzzle break.

you realize it will vary slightly from brand to brand so check with each to make sure it will fit your needs
