If it's the .32 Squirrel Rifle barrel being sold by Muzzleloader707, that one is 3/4" in diameter and only fits the Squirrel Rifle stock.

Tater, what model CVA is your stock for? What's the barrel channel width? Depending on the model it could be 3/4", 7/8", 29/32", or 1". The 29/32" is probably the most common in the Hawken models and can be enlarged by careful scraping to accept a 15/16" diameter barrel. Despite being only 1/32" larger than 7/8", a 7/8" barrel will be a surprisingly sloppy fit, though glassing the barrel channel will cure that problem without being too awful noticeable.

The problem is finding a barrel of either 7/8" or 15/16" diameter in either .32 or .36 caliber. They exist, but they're not easy to find and when you do find one they aren't cheap. Numrich Gun Parts had 36" x 7/8" .32 caliber Green Mountains for roughly $125, shipped, but those are now sold out and will never be seen again -- at least not through Numrich.

Thanks guys.  I found one on gun broker.  It is a sloppy fit but i am planning to glass it in over the winter.
