Re: FN SPR BARREL CONTOUR

what bbl mfg are you going with? It would all depend on the who is making the barrel.

The barrel in the standard PBR's is indeed not a M40 contour. It's more akin to a Remington varmint contour. I'm not near mine at the moment, or else I could take some measurements.

the bbl on a spr is fatter than a rem, I would compare the Remington to the fn pbr bbl

Here's the SPR barrel contour:

At the chamber it measures 1.1375", straight taper down to .924" at 24" muzzle and .975" at 20" muzzle.

TSR/PBRs are lighter. They run basically a Winchester Coyote taper. The taper is not straight, but drops off just forward of the chamber (about 3.5 inches in front of receiver). Starts at 1.1375" at the chamber, ends at .720" at the 24" muzzle, .760" at the 20" muzzle.

Hope this helps clarify the situation.
