Gents:

Thinking about a custom in .500 cal. Did a Google search for US barrel makers and came up with:

McGowen
Lawton
Krieger
Shilen
Walther

Can some folks help with some others?

I have had 3 rifles with McGowen barrels on them, and they have all been very fine.

Shilen makes excellent barrels and I have had great success with them. You may also want to consider Douglas.

FISH!!

Heed the words of Winston Smith in Orwell's 1984:

"Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right."

There must be at least 6 or 7 in Wisconsin

Here are a few more

Rock, Broughton, Bartlein, Brux. There is also Obermeir but I don't think you can get anything from him because he works on govt. contracts.
There is also Hart, but I don't think he makes that caliber and his are all stainless.

And out in Montana there is also Half Moon.

My ONE current custom rifle wears a Hart barrel.

My NEXT custom rifle will have a Lilja Barrel.
