#124692 - 21/01/09 07:40 AM

Need a pair of rifle barrels. 577, for black powder express rifle, and prefer them to be in Henry rifling, but does anyone make barrels with Henry rifling these days?

I've been told that Krieger will do it, but that was a couple of years ago.

There is one I know in England who can do it...and actually does it all the time, but he hasn`t picked up his phone or answered left messages for over 4 months...So there is another guy in switzerland who does it too. I will find the address for to you later, if you are interested in it being from Suisse??. Maybe there is someone in US who can do it....much easier I reckon

The other requirement is a (relatively) slow twist rate for sensible express rifle performance. Hopefully any maker of Henry-rifled barrels would appreciate the requirement for period-correct twist rates.

Try Ken Owen 1-901-877-6853 (the maker of the 4Bore double rifles). He has the setup to do Henry rifling, but he is awful busy. He is in Tenn.
