I am in need of a replacement barrel for a Pedersoli Kentucky rifle in 45 caliber.
The original bore is badly rusted and the breech plug has been chewed on in an unsuccessful attempt at removal.
Tried to contact a couple if the bigger Pedersoli importers trying g to get information.
Not very positive or helpful responses.
I to have a pedersoli Kentucky Rifle .45 cal flintlock. I recently acquired it used.
It's now a project rifle. It has inconsistent sparking. And when it does spark most of the sparks land forward of the pan up near the hinge. And there is a gap between the lock and barrel. Where powder can fall down into. The flash hole in the barrel is positioned at the bottom of the pan. Not even centered in the barrel. The bore of the barrel has a spot that feels over reamed. You notice it when swabbing the bore and loading it. When loading the rifle. The touch hole is large enough that your powder charge is pushed out. After seeing why had several loads without powder. I would close the frizzen when loading and it would self prime with fffg.
I removed the barrel to install a touchhole liner to solve that problem. And found out a previous owner had broken the tang. It is not wide enough around the counter sunk tang bolt. They even glued the end piece in the stock with contact cement.
Now costumer support.
Dear Mr. Sorenson,
Thank you for your patience. We heard back from Pedersoli this morning. That barrel, 0800F2409B, runs $450.00 plus tax and shipping. Please note, we do not stock parts and accessories here, this would be a special order from the factory. Special orders require payment in full, pre-paid, non-refundable/non-returnable.

Well a good Corellian barrel cost me 200.00 I just have some work ahead of me. Need to enlage the barrel channel slightly. Old one is metric size. new one is imperial size.
So if you want my old barrel yup I've got one. You'll need your breach plug. And I suggest a touchhole liner.
Muzzleloader builder suppy is where I got my new barrel from. Shipping was quick. But then it looks like they're about 5 hours away from me.
All this happened this September '23.
I'm now putting together a couple of Kimber long rifles kits. The Pedersoli is on the back burner for now.
