32WCF barrel wanted

[buffalochip]

I am looking for a 32-20 barrel for a 1892 Rifle I have, it has to be sent to NZ were I can get a permit no problem to import.

Help needed.

Try the Shotgun news (multiple vendors) They do mostly 20th century militaria but I find quite a bit of common to obscure western gun parts there from time to time.

Another resource that I love to use is S&S Firearms. They have phenomenal resources for gun parts from colonial muskets to M1903 Springfield rifles.

I saved the best for last. Contact the Rifle Shoppe in Oklaholma. They specialize in custom made hard-to-find parts for 18-19th c firearms. (These guys are my favorite) They don't come cheap but they are the best.

it will be the end of next month before i go to another show, but if i run across one i'll let you know

is there a particular barrel length you want?

You might just try lining it. I gave a friend of mine a totally beat-to-heck Winchester '73 in .32WCF, and he completely redid the guts and lined the barrel. I know they don't shoot worth a darn with any pits at all, and now his is brand new. The poor old thing still looks like heck from the outside, but is a total laser as far as shooting goes. A GOOD gunsmith should be able to do that for you.

Cheers!
