Rifled barrel source wanted
« on: November 01, 2012, 03:35:19 PM »
I once came across a bunch of 75mm barrel pieces that were torch cut into sections.  Unfortunately the pieces were about an inch too long to fit in my VW bug. 

That was 35-years ago, now I'd like to find some pieces of 40mm Bofer barrel or similar to make a muzzle loading cannon.  I see such guns are used at the Wyoming shoot.  I am thinking of 4 or 5-feet long.   I am not stuck on exactly 40mm.  It must have a clean bore though.  Anyone selling demill barrels or barrels that would be suitable for a reasonable price?

I may not be completely sane, but at least I don't think I have the power to influence the weather.

Always thought those folks were mighty proud of their stuff. I think IMA may have one a little cheaper. Google is your friend. Frank

There is/was some place in Montana that sold that kind of stuff.  A demilled barrel would probably satisfy your needs and be a lot less expensive.
