    .427 / .428 Barrel Blank

    Looking around for a piece of .44-40 type barrel, something in the neighborhood of .427"-.428" groove diameter. Hopefully at least nine inches long. Perhaps could make do with something from a .44 Mag.

    Do you need a pistol length blank or a rifle length blank? I have a few .427" blanks.

    For a replica 1858 revolver. Preferably about eight or nine inches long though a little shorter could work out OK.
