3/4ths inch barrels?

[caliber45]

Gents -- I have (probably unwisely) a few stock blanks for half-stock "grandkid" rifles (carbines?) with barrel channels already cut fo 3/4ths-inch barrels, but my usual supplier, Mr. Curtis, is out of straight-sided barrels. I'd rather not re-cut them, so am looking for a .32-cal. barrel for a granddaughter build, but would consider other calibers. Anyone know of a source? Tks! -- paulallen, greencastle, IN

Have you tried Rice/Rayl/Long Hammock, etc?  Does Green Mountain make a 3/4" barrel?  (I believe they used to.)  Dixie used to sell their house brand barrel in 3/4" but that was in the late 80's.

When you find one you might want to cut off the breech & re-tap it for a 1/2 x 13 plug. This gives you a notched 1/8" thick piece of metal to keep the breech  together.

Just so  it's not one of those pink plastic BOLT (shudder) action things. Ugly, and look too much like a toy. The Savage Stevens 30/30G is okay, just not as good as an old one. Keep your eyes peeled at shows, auctions, and even pawnshops. Favorites do show up. Or the Remington Model 6 "roller." They're both actually "tilting blocks" that swing on a pin--just different ways of doing it.
