Barrel makers

Rice or Hoyt. @Comfortably_Numb mentioned Rayle. Myabe check in with him too. What you are asking for is out of the norm and a long wait is likely.

Light 24ga barrels are going to have to be ordered. Hoyt, FCI and Rayle as well as Rice will make you a light barrel. These aren't a standard item and there will be a wait, around 10 months last time a ordered a custom barrel from Rice. I have a Dandy 24 bore that Ed Rayle made, probably weighs less than 3lbs and is 46".
Hoyt has my trade gun barrel patterns. A oct//rnd type "G" at 48" and 20 bore that will make a 6lb gun and a French trade gun barrel that is oct/fading to rnd in 20 bore at 53 1/4" that will make a 7 1/2lb gun. Both of these patterns were taken exactly off of originals.

What are the details of the original guns these patterns were taken from? Thank you.

The type "G" was taken from an original that Reeves Goehring owned, and I own the French trade gun barrel.

Yeah , Larry usually has barrels on hand too instead of waiting on them . I used his barrels in the 90s and they were the most accurate barrels ive ever used before . Give him a holler , nice guy .

Just talked to guy at FCI .... Trade gun barrels are $260 plus shipping ...flats 10" long

Just be forewarned that it can take several years to get your order. I'm at 1 year 7 months waiting on 3 smoothbore barrels.
