Track of the Wolf has everything needed to make a replacement barrel. Since T-C uses a patent breech, i.e. the touch hole is in the breechplug, you can use any of the barrels they sell, not only Green Mountain. For a fee they will put it all together. Ask them for a quote, I think it will run around $250.

The price to have them build a drop-in barrel is more like 400.00 bucks. Not worth 400 bucks to go from a .50 to .54 caliber for your own stock.
The price of the barrel; sights, under rib, pipes, shorten and crown the barrel; then you brown it etc. It all adds up; the gunsmithing charges would be over 100 bucks itself. Heck; you could buy a whole kit for a little more.

I'd be interested in another one so i can get this one jugchoked. I didnt know it at the time but i must have lucked into one of the last ones they made last time around. Mine is getting modified to fit my GPR though, and this one would have to be also.
This post is not to suggest that we shouldn't try to get a 'run' of barrels made by TC but because I didn't see him discussed elsewhere,I simply thought I'd mention that in the Links there is a link to Dennis McCandless' website. He does custom breeching for almost anything it seems. I haven't called him to ask specifically what it would cost to have him fit a GM barrel with all the 'fixings' to drop in to a TC stock, but it looks like he would be more likely to do it than anyone else I've contacted.
Anyone know him or know about his work?
Just wondering.

That's a good tip...and also, barrel maker Ed Rayl in West VA would make one as well.
Just remembering that the original kernel of this thread was for a 15/16" x .54cal drop-in barrel for the regular size TC Hawken stock...I thought I'd at least mention that TC already makes a 1" x .54cal round ball barrel for the larger size Hawken stock, and they also fit the Renegade's 1" barrel bed as well.

Called Kerri this morning and left a message to just email the info back.Here is what she said doesn't sound to promising.Ray
"Ray,
I just received your message. Right now I only have 5 names on my list of people that would want them. I would need quite a few more before I could go to my manager and suggest doing a run. But I haven't given up so we'll have to wait and see. As far as a .62 cal smoothbore barrel we only did them in a 1" barrel and I no longer have those in stock. Those have been discontinued. "
Thank You,

Wonder if you could reply to her mail and ask if she could contact TOW, Cainsoutdoor, etc, as they each might have a few names unknown to one another...or...maybe Emails to TOW and Cains asking them to contact her might be better...dunno

The only answer I'll give you about what to use is this: "operate within GM's recommended guidelines"
I'll also tell you if I had a GM .54cal x 15/16" rifled barrel I'd personally use up to 120grn Goex 2F without hesitation if I wanted to.
Some more info.....
"Kerry,thanks for the reply.Another thing I was thinking are any of the suppliers such as Track of the wolf,Cain/s or Petaconica taking orders also ? I was on the TOTW site and they were accepting orders ,are these among the 5 names? Hard to believe we are the only 5 who want one.Have you contacted these suppliers or should we shoot them emails to get a run going..Just throwing some ideas out there..LOL”¦Thanks Ray?
"At this time I do not have them on my list. The only thing I can think of with Track is they may being making some out of our blanks. I do not know. The 5 on my list are just the people that had e-mailed me with a yes after Bill had done his post. I'll have to check with them to see if they would be interested in ordering some barrels. Kerry "

Good work Fish...can't help but get the impression that we're more interested in their potential business customers than they are.
Particularly in these economic times, you'd think after hearing from us a couple times they'd take some sort of pro-active initiative to start beating the bushes to see if they could get a business opportunity going on these barrels.
And just a reminder, for those who want a caplock version, they still had some .54cal x 15/16" caplock "smoothbores" on clearance for $100...then $65 for Ed Rayl to add the rifling and you've got your rifled 15/16" .54cal drop-in, and for a lot less money than GMs new ones will cost if they ever make any more
