Barrel maker information
« on: May 15, 2022, 04:50:23 AM »
  Looking for information on a barrel. I have a fowler/ trade gun barrel. It is octagon to octagon to round. With the second octagon half the size of the first. It has two wedding bands on it. It is 20 gauge, 42 inches long with no markings what 
so ever. Breach is 3/4-16
Anyone with any serious comments to who might have made it   TIA. Oldtravler

  Added picture anyone have a clue.  I have checked most barrel maker sites.  But haven't found anything like it.
 Thanks for looking.  Oldtravler

Say, any of you boys smithies? Or, if not smithies per se, were you otherwise trained in the metallurgic arts before straitened circumstances forced you into a life of aimless wanderin'?

I agree with Mike....looks like one of Tracks' "house brand" barrels.

  Thank you but I guess I'm going blind. Just didn't see it.

They're not marked that I know of. I've used one before. It shot great. I wanna say it was a little tight...like .610 or so.
