Help me find a ML pistol BBL blank 1" round
« on: March 28, 2016, 11:09:49 PM »
I am looking for a 1", round, 12"?, fast twist,  36, 40 or 45 cal., pistol barrel.  A patched ball barrel.  I don't see any round barrels where I normally would look.  Ideas on sources anyone?   

I suppose I could turn the flats of an octagon blank but that is a pain.  I'd rather start round.

How about a 1" diameter "bull" rifle barrel?  You could make three pistol barrels out of one, and they are all faster twist than regular blackpowder barrels.

I'll give Oregon a call.

I have a take off barrel from an Egyptian rolling block.  There is some clean rifling in the middle.  I see Track has balls in 424, 429, 433, and 437 diameters.  One of those would work.  I was hoping to use a top quality fast twist deep rifling barrel though.

 Rifled or smooth?
Nobody is always correct, Not even me.

Joe at the gun works can make you whatever you want. pistol barrel prices are reasonable.
