tapered round shotgun barrels

[Stephen]

Anyone know where I can buy tapered round 10 or 12 ga. shotgun barrels? I am planning on building a double barrel percussion shotgun, but can't find either the barrels or the double hooked breach and tang. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Please check out Numrich Corp.
They sell shotgun barrel blanks and the likes...

I suspect you can find what you need here...

I will indeed give Numerich Corp. a try--many thanks for your kind response!!!

 

Track will have the breeches for you in percussion or flint.

In his book "Recreating the Double Barrel Muzzleloading Shotgun", Brockway modifies a set of breachloader tubes from a used gun. This eliminates the problems of having to solder and regulate the barrels. The book also show how to make the breach plate from scratch.

Thanks to all who replied to my post--I have gathered enough information to really get into building a SXS double barrel shot gun. I have already accumulated a stock, two sets of barrels (both very reasonable}, as well as left and right hand locks!! Again, my sincere thanks to ALL!!
