Where can I get a 48" barrel

[CWC]

I'm looking for sources for the parts for a northwest trade gun. I would like to build one with a 48" 24ga barrel. The longest barrel I've found online is a 46". Does anyone know where I can find a 4' barrel?

Ed Rayle will make whatever you want...

Ed Rayl. Or if a 20 ga. x 48 is an option, email or PM me.

Bobby Hoyt or Charles Burton will also make them that length, as will John Getz, but every custom barrel maker has their own schedule, and it varies from customer to customer, and time to time. So just because somebody else has gotten a custom-dimensioned barrel recently from maker X in 3 months doesn't mean you will.

I wish somebody like Rice would do some runs of longer fowling gun barrels. It just seems there's never going to be enough demand for it as everybody wants their own length, profile, gauge, form etc.

Birddog6 - Thanks for the offer, but I'm set on the 24ga. I called Ed Rayl and he said his wait was 6 months to a year. I was about to place the order with him when I saw the post that mentioned Charles Burton. I called Burton and he said he could do it in 3 to 6 months. So, I mailed my check off to Burton. Thanks for the help!

I have a Charles Burton barrel and am super happy with it. Bore is super consistent, the finish is excellent inside and out, and a he's great guy to deal with. I should not say all these nice things because he will become more popular and his backlog will grow.

 

Good, you could order one. Check Flea-bay, every once in a while they have barrel stretchers for sale reasonably. Generally find them around early April, though rayle, and Burton are the best way to go. :hatsoff:
