Lee Speed Barrel lenght, Cut to what ??
27/12/13 09:07 AM

Hi guys, I could do with some input on this please.

I'm checking to see what the consensus would be on barrel length when re barreling a BSA Lee Speed back to original commercial barrel contour with markings & proofs

I have about 6 Lee Speeds & 6 BSA sportiers, that have the wrong or buggered & wrong barrels on them, over the last few years I have found barrels for most of them or had some rebored to 375 (not in my hand yet) & I'm starting to fix a few up (some need wood work to) .

But I'm unsure what length I should make the barrels, most factory Lees were 24.5in long, very few 22in more 21in as they had the Carbine barrel fitted, I have one of the 21ins & it feels great to use, I also made one of my others with a 22in, it also handles well !

The 24.5's are heavy & ungainly, the full rib is even worse !

I'm not going to keep all these in the long run, just a 303 - 375 & maybe a 411JDJ/400 Saber, so will it effect the value/desirability greatly if the barrels are not cut to original length ?
