This came up on a mailing list recently.  It was suggested to contact Jim McLemore in Indiana.  He has been making barrels for eons and recently bought Bill Large's equipment after his own shop burned.  Perhaps someone knows his contact info.

Greetings TOF, and shooter93

   James Mclemore is a very good machinist, and barrel maker.  He can make barrels to 60 Inches, and also builds bench barrels.  He will be able to to do gain twist soon if he isn't already building them.
