Is that what you were looking for?

The latter's barrel-maker had a stroke awhile back and I don't know if he is back to work or if they have someone else by now. Mr. McLemore told me last time I checked that he didn't think he would be taking any more orders but he did want to continue making barrels in small batches when he could - I don't think he was able to make any this last winter, though.

Isn't Buckeye Barrels the name of Barbie Chambers barrel company? I believe they sell several different makers barrels with the Chambers kits.

Post by: WadePatton on March 21, 2019, 03:42:13 PM: No comprehensive list is complete without Hugh Toenjes "Blacksmoke" on the list. He makes a fine bbl and guarantees accuracy.

Just when I think I know who all makes bbls, I hear of another pilgrim making a few. Most of them don't have any inventories to sell from, only lists/orders you can join.

Tip used to keep a great inventory of ready-made bbls, but you'll have to call him as I heard that he told a FOF that he's not selling parts anymore, just guns. I've not been up there in a few years.

Post by: axelp on March 22, 2019, 08:38:57 PM: I am not sure if Longhammock is still in business. I know several of the builders that used to use their barrels are no longer offering them.
