Hi everybody!
Can someone on the list give me some information on how to choose a
barrel. I know that length is a consideration, and that I need a longer
one, but what other considerations are there?
I would appreciate recommendations and explanations of why certain
barrels are prefered. I have a Buffet R13 and just have the barrel that
came with it.
Also, are tuning rings necessary and why?
Thanks,

Deborah
