I recently purchased a group of muzzle loading barrels from an estate. Both rifled and smoothbore. All of the rifled barrels were Colerain. The smoothbores are commercial barrels with the same ground finish as Colerain but are not stamped. They are however quality barrels. I am going to list the ones I am not going to use for your consideration.
I have no idea what the person had in mind for this barrel. It is 1&3/8in at the breech and tapers to 1" at 20inches from the breech. Then it is turned round for 40in and tapers from 1in to .875in at the muzzle. That's right it is 60inches long overall. It is threaded 7/8in at the breech and has a partially shaped plug installed.
Anyway with a little work it could be made into a fowler or a trade musket. It is a quality barrel and a true .730 cal.
I am asking $110 which includes shipping anywhere in the CONUS. I prefer postal money order but personal checks are OK with a couple days to clear.
