    Anyone beside a No.4 barrel with a measuring instrument right now?

    Looking for 3 dimensions if so :
    - Confirm length of barrel from receiver to muzzle as 25.2 inches.
    - Length (depth) of threaded part of barrel internal to the receiver
    - OD across the threads (I have it as .995 inches and a 14 TPI V thread)
    Information
    Warning: This is a relatively older thread
