Do the barrel makers that also install barrel liners make there own liners?

Shifty,
I don't know. But here is some info on liners. I have used T.J.'s liners with good success.
T.J.'s 3652 Neltner Road, Alexandria, KY 41001, (859) 635-5560, Mike Sayers, President. These guys make a large selection of hammer forged liners for modern calibers from 0.17 to 0.50, about 40 different ones. For muzzle loaders they make a 0.460 bore/0.476 groove, 1-48, 5/8 OD and a 0.510 bore/0.532 groove, 1-48, 11/16 OD. I used the 0.510 liner and was very pleased with the result as seen in the photos above. T.J.'s sells these for $3.75 per inch. I believe that Track of the Wolf sells these also, but at a higher price. Obviously the price of the liner will exceed the price of a new barrel, so it only makes sense to line only the most valuable barrels, line the really cool twist iron barrel, above.

It has been my experience that when somebody asks about a barrel liner, they usually need a barrel. I have seen antique guns relined so the owner can shoot them, but this is a lot of money for a gun that shouldn't be shot much, if at all. I'm just saying, think this over before you buy a liner, and start a big project.
