green mountain rifle barrels ??

[Gunnerboy]

I have an odd project that im working on a Mosin nagant in 460 s&w, and being that the 460 is just an longer 45 colt case i was wondering if the green mountain barrel blanks in 45 colt would be able to work for this project. I am also wondering about the quality of green mountain barrels and if anyone has good or bad experiances with them?

Oh boy, now here's a project I would love to see come to bear. Would you give us some updates as you go? Sorry, I don't have an answer to your question, but I hope someone comes along that does.

I will gladly update once its going, i was gonna go with 500s&w but decided being able to shoot 45lc or 454 or 460 would be much more fun.

The .460 operates at a much higher pressure and velocity then the .45lc. I would be mildly concerned about ware on a barrel designed for the .45lc. Im also not sure id want to subject a nagant to a steady diet of loads that generated 8k PSI more then its standard cartridge is rated for.

I have a Green Mountain experimental barrel on my 5.45x39 AR and it is without flaw.
