Barrel ID??
« on: July 22, 2016, 05:40:13 PM »
Got a barrel in a parts set I won from our annual Aggregate matches at our club, 1" wide octagon, 42" long, in a probably 20 year old precarve maple Hawken style.  No markings at all, had a solid breech with a one inch octagon extension that looked hand made.  8 lands and 8 grooves, shallow square grooves, all in great shape.  Anyone have ideas on brand or maker??

Thanks,
Dave

I believe Colerain and Douglas have eight grooves but both should be marked unless cut off at the breach.

The colrain ROUND grove barrels that I have seen are 6 grove, Douglas, Green Mountain, and Mark De Has are a few who made 8 grove.
