I guess this is technically not a "offer to buy or to sell" which is against the forum rules so I'll let it stay for a while.

Are you looking to use it for a pistol barrel? You need to be mindful of twist in that case. Pistol barrels usually have much faster twist rates than rifle barrels so as to get at least 1/4 turn out of the ball by the time it exits in order to impart some stability to the ball.

Wapiti, I might have what you need. Let me check my junkpile. Can't guarantee condition, but I'll PM you if I find some.
Not using for a pistol barrel. Using as a sanding guide for barrel fitting

While pistol barrels are generally faster twist. A rifle barrel cut off can make a good accurate pistol with heavier charges. A 45 cal pistol with a one in 20 twist will shoot very well with minor charges. 14 to 25 grains. A 45 caliber 1:60 twist can shoot well, but may require 40 grains of powder. the most accurate pistol I ever won matches with was built with a 45 caliber rifle cut off 10 inches long and tc patriot parts in a really ugly two piece glued together stock.

Sounds like something I need to try using. Thanks for the idea, going to cut some wood to shape for mine.

I think I have a chunk of 15/16 barrel. If you still need it, PM me your address and I'll send it to you.

I don’t have what you need but that’s a good idea.
