Ben Coogle still making barrels?
« on: July 17, 2011, 01:19:49 AM »
Saw him listed in the rifle barrels section of "The Rifle Shop" web site,... but as I'm a bit unfamiliar with him, I'm not sure if he's still making barrels. Tried the number and it was out of service.

LRB.........I don't think so.   Most of the barrels he made were from seamless tubing.  I don't think I have ever seen a rifled
barrel from Benny..............Don

  When I was talking with him we were talking a Type G Trade gun. He said he was orderering the barrels, and I thought he said Getz. Apparently not. I guess John does'nt do smoothies? They were not cheap.

LRB.........John does a lot of smoothbores.   If he was doing a Type G, like Jack Brooks gun, he may have made the barrels.
They are rather delicate, little barrels, usually 60 cal. smooth................Don

Actually all his barrels are smoothbores.......then he messes a bunch of them up by rifling them.

Well, I'm not looking for tubing barrels personally,... just my personal preference. 
Guess, he's out of the running then for what I'm looking for.

Thanks fellas,... at least now I know what's what.
