16 Bore Rifled Tubes
#150627 - 14/01/10 08:39 AM

Does anyone know of a source for 16 bore rifled tubes? 12 bore is readily available, but how about 16?

Are you looking for black powder or smokeless barerls?

Smokeless preferably. I have a Greener GP Martini action that I would like to make a bore gauge rifle. I can easily find 12 bores, but 16s are not so common.

Sorry, then. I was thinking of Ed Rayle or Bob Hoyte. It might not be a bad idea to contact them anyway to see what steel they use. You'll want 4140 for a smokeless barrel.
Hoyte is 1-717-642-6696
I don't have Ed Rayle's number.
Bob Hoyte is known to produce any contour you want.
Ed is well known for his great shooting 16 bore rifle barrels, but they are for muzzleloading only, I think - not sure. He reams them to .675", which is actually 15 bore (.677") so a person can use a .662" Lyman ball, with patch.

To the best of my knowledge Ed only makes black Powder Muzzleloading barrels and won't make any cartridge barrel. You might try Joe Williams at Oregon Barrel Works, he custom makes barrels and sometimes does smokeless barrels.

Hope that helps.
