Wasn't there a sticky on many of the different barrel types and a description of them as well? I can't seem to find it.

Thought I'd go ahead and discuss the barrels on this high grade Colt 1878



Higher grade guns were matched with more expensive damascus patterns, and I'm pretty sure this is Bernard Loop.
