I'm putting some feelers out to see if I might buy a green mountain 1"x36" or longer straight barrel with slow twist. I'd like a 54 or 58 cal, preferably unmodified but depending on what's been done to it a used one might be ok.

Not sure on pricing. $200-350?

If you'd consider fitting my current breach plug and cutting some dovetails to make my life easier we could discuss that also.

Or, if you have a milling machine and could turn a 1 1/8" x 1" tapered barrel into a straight 1", please let me know. Not a clue on what that price would be but we can discuss it.

Thanks :)

I have a new, old stock, one inch x 35 inch, .58 caliber, eight grove, 1/66 twist Orion barrel I'm not going use. Bore is bright and shiny and the exterior clean. Orion Barrel Company made very good barrels. I purchased 3 of these from them a year before the owner, Jerry Cunningham retired and closed the business. I built a half stock, and a full stock Hawken with two of them that shoot very well. The last barrel has been hanging around in waiting, and I don't need another fur trade style rifle. I'll would like $200 for the barrel plus shipping. You are welcome to message me if interested and I can provide pictures.

I'd need 36" or longer. Thanks though!
