needing a custom barrel for french 1822 carbine
« on: December 15, 2016, 12:05:54 AM »
  hopefully someone here  may have a contact who could  either produce or turn down a barrel for me,
 we are looking to replace a barrel on a French 1822 carbine . however the owner would like to have it  in  a smaller rifled bore then the original
 I have not contacted Ed Rayl  yet  but I did contact Colerain thinking they may have a suitable barrel  since the produce barrels from the rifle shop.
 best they could do was a rifled barrel blank .
Oregon barrel only goes to 1 inch  in diameter and we need a 1  3/16 at the breech tapering to 3/4  in 30 inchs
 myself I don't have a lathe large enough  to do a 30 inch barrel .
anyone have any ideas ?
