Good question. I've been doing some shopping myself for a good barrel maker. I've been wanting to have made a 36" oct-round .62 with a thompson center breech plug for a renegade hunter or new englander stock. I don't who to pick either. Heard good things about oregon barrel company but don't know how to reach them. Let me know what you find out.

My 20 bore fowler has a 46" octagon to round (tapered) barrel made by Long Hammock in Fla. & sold to me by Barb at Jim Chambers. Not too much choice in that long & style bbl but Long Hammock seemed to make a nice one, Chambers sells quality parts & my builder was ok with it. Availability was also an issue as Bard had three & I could pick. It did need to be bent (see thread re bending bbls.) but I am happy with the end result. Good luck with your selection.

Getz Barrel company makes a damn fine barrel. They will also custom make one for you too, you will just have to wait longer. Figure a 6 month wait after you order.
