RMC Sports has the barrel that you need and it is a GM barrel. Give them a call.

I have the 32 barrel for mine and got it from[url] rmcsports.com[/url]. I had to file the hooked breech slightly and another simple adjustment to get it to fit properly.

Be warned that its a very heavy barrel in 32, theres a lot more steel left after drilling that small 32 hole.

hey thanks a bunch for the help!

any comments on how good these 32 cal barrels shoot? or how well the do with small game?

I also have been thinking about a 32. I have a GPR flint. I have already been in touch with RMC with no luck. Any other ideas anyone?

Is a 3/4" barrel in .32 practical for both flint and percussion? I was toying with the idea of a percussion Bedford with a straight 44" barrel that size in .32 or .36 caliber. :hmm:

I have a .32 flinter with a 3/4" barrel that I built a couple of years ago. There is plenty of metal on the barrel to put in a drum. It wouldn't bother me to build a percussion with that same barrel.

roughneck I have a .32 in a caplock that works great, 22gr.of pyrodex P & PRB. Only head shots on small game if you want anything left to eat.
You have to use black powder in that flinter but I bet the results would be the same. Wish mine was a flinter. :wink: Rocky
