Where to find a 50 cal 1x36" octagonal barrel

[YippyKiYay]

I know there is this thing called the internet, but wanted to try the old fashioned way.
I'm looking for an octagonal barrel, about 30", 1x36" twist, for my Remington No. 1 Sporting rifle.
I'm recreating George Custer's rifle he carried into the Little Bighorn.
His was 28", 50-70.

Which supply house would you recommend.

McGowen used to do Octagon. I'm to sure about 1:36 though

You might try Jim Carpenter , 208-582-2091.He makes barrels for me sometimes.

I was chatting with Dennis Olsen and mentioned that someone had posted they were looking for a 50 cal 1:36 barrel. He said he was pretty sure he has a 50 cal 1:28 Octagon that came from C Sharps and went digging through his barrels and located it. He mentioned having some Sharps brass as well.

How is Dennis getting along? I've not seen him for a few years.

Impressed me as doing quite well, he has been in really good cheer when we've talked recently. I haven't seen him in over a year, it used to be easy for me to swing in when the kids and I were visiting my late father in Kalispell.

That twist is too fast for the 450gr boolits I want to use. But the brass is intriguing... can you pm me contact info?
