Barrel Band for Handi 45-70

Anyone know a good source or brand of barrel band. I'd prefer to get steel, but cost may be a factor.

Thanks >>>===> Dave

If you're talking about a barrel/forearm band, the old Shikari or Huntsman had one. Gun parts corp sells them, but they are currently sold out.

Thanks, I should have been more specific. I'm looking for a barrel band for the front sling swivel. I'm tired of bruised knuckles  >:(

Now that barrel band is sweet looking but perhaps a bit pricey for me, looks as if it would have to be finished and blued also.. What about the ones from Uncle Mikes I think that came in 2 parts and you screwed together to hold them on the barrel or mag tube? Does anyone know which size or model, if there is one, that will fit a H&R/NEF 45/70?....<><.... :-\

I guess this is close, they may make one to fit a 45/70 barrel diameter...
