Does anyone know where I can get a 58 cal. smooth bore pistol barrel blank 10 inches or more long?
1 inch OD or more.

I looked everywhere that I could think of and all I could find is a .62 cal HERE. Would make a heck of a close range defensive weapon though.

:hmm: Maybe. The feller I'm thinking of is at Friendship right now tho... I'll ask him when I get there. Got another I'm meaning to ask him about anyway. Let ya know Friday night.

Thanks Guy's
I forgot to mention that it has to be straight
NO tapered or octagon to round.

Did you mean you strictly want only a round barrel and not octagonal?

 

[sc45-70]

Smooth bore round or octagon, either is fine as long as it's straight and atleast 1 inch OD or AF, bigger is fine.
At least 10 inches long, longer is fine!
Does not need to be breeched or crowned.
May consider a 54-56 or 62 if the price is right!
Thank you

I asked Charlie Burton about it at Friendship but forgot to mention 1" across. He said he can make you one. Price sounded good too.
He won't be back home until after the shoot but send him a PT. His member name here on the muzzleloadingforum is dixie.

Thanks Toots
The last barrel I ordered from the Gun Works took almost a year to arrive.
Just want to see if I can get one sooner!

Wow, had no idea they had a backlog like that. Only took a few weeks when i ordered 2 twelve gauge barrels. But that was 1998. Sorry about that.
