Do you have barrels yet?

No sir, I do not. When the gun arrives, I will take some measurements, draw up a 3D model of the barrel, and send the dimensions in to have 100% completed barrels made. Well, everything but the bluing. In fact, I already have my model started and I dont even have the gun yet. Hahaha.
Im not sure if your barrels will work for me or not but shoot me a PM and Ill see what I can do about relieving you of them if I can make them work.

I pulled the barrels out and to my surprise (I guess one could call it that) the rifling is more what I'd call a "Swirl" rather than nice cut rifling.
There was some talk back in the day about these A&B barrels being some other maker's seconds. Wouldn't surprise me looking at them.

I certainly wouldn't commit to a double build with these in the hope that they shoot!
Maybe I'll use them or one on something else...

Sounds like polygonal rifling. They more of a "hills and valleys" profile than lands and grooves. There are arguments about the benefits of it. Either way, I dont think its "wrong". Just depends on your perspective. Supposedly they seal better on larger bore rounds but Im just regurgitating what Wikipedia says about them. I have no personal experience.
