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?

Dennis Olsen, Plains Mt it will come right up. Phone is dead and can’t find charging cable. Kids, uggh.

They don't offer 1x36 but they do offer a 1x32 which I think might be a better twist.
