Has anyone ever seen a 9" + barrel for a 375 Supermag? I recently found one new and I have never seen any other than the standard 8" barrel's in this caliber that go with the slotted shrouds. I am looking into getting a shroud to go with it.

Maybe that new barrel is for a new style 10" compensator shroud. The compensator uses up about an inch at the end, right?

If it's a vented barrel, count the vents, multiply by 2 for the barrel length. If you have a newer compensated barrel, it will have a knurled nut on the end and 3 cross-cut slots in the top. For this barrel, and 8 inch version will measure 9 3/8 inches from the front of the cylinder to the front of the knurled nut. The barrel is still an 8 incher, but the compensator chamber comprises the extra length.

When I measure my 10" 445 SuperMag the from cylinder face to the tip of the shroud is 9.75". So the barrel is going to be slightly less than than.

Thanks for the ideas guys. I had not thought about the fact that it may have been intended for a compensated shroud. When I wrote I already had it boxed to go to CZ to get a shroud built so I do not have it right now to measure. My primary puzzlement was I have never seen this scenario in a .375 before. Has anyone else?

Both DW Monson and Palmer made assorted barrel lengths for all the interchangeable barrel models. I have a model 40, 357max and I've seen a 12" barrel /shroud for it, unfortunately it cost more than my entire set with the 6", two 8", and a 10" barrel sets, so I passed on it and haven't seen one since.
