RE: Moennig Barrels Article

both Moennig and Chadash barrels are "tapered" (smaller at one end than the other to make a "reversed cone").... this will differ in degree (my Moennig barrel starts larger and ends smaller than the dimensions Mr Hite describes, for example) but also in "shape"
the design could be a straight cone, it could be two shorter cones with a central section that was cylindrical, it could be any combination of cylindrical section/conical section, or it could actually have a "curved taper" etc etc etc
for the uninitiated these things are actually quite hard to measure- i understand that the Chadash barrel has a cylindrical portion in the bore, but really have no details... it's quite likely that you'd find it very hard to get specific details on the web for any number of reasons.
