I'm having a Smith K frame rebarrel to eak out just that much more accuracy, and since the barrel starts as a blank I can choose its length and weight.
Should I have the barrel turned to weigh the same as the stock barrel for a 38 oz. revolver?
or
Should I have it made larger in diamiter and heavier for a revolver that weighes up to 49 oz.?
I will note theadded weight will lesson the felt recoil and give me a stiffer barrel buy lessening the harmonics.
Your options please.

Hi, Trooper.
To answer your question properly, I need to know which coure or dicipline would the gun be intended for? Mostly one handed, or mostlyl two-handed shooting? A barrel heavier than standard factory issue is favored by mosts. For two-handed shooting, you god benefit from a really heavy one.
You could have a barrel machined "in the rough", threaded, and adjust the weight by machining off metal successively to match your needs.
Be sure to mount a barrel with a twist optimized for the bullet weight (i.e the bullet lenght) you intend to use the most.
