Gents: 20 years ago, when I played with Winchesters, I had a liner put in the barrel of my great-great grandfather's 1873 Winchester in .32-20. It was completely shot out so the bullets keyholed. As it was not for sale I was not worried about the collectibility of the rifle--I just wanted it to shoot well. Now, I'd like to restore it to new and would like an original round 24-inch barrel in the same caliber to have a gunsmith install before a complete refinish to original specs. Any idea where to look for a barrel? Cheers and thanks, Cal _______________________________ Cal Pappas, Willow, Alaska www.CalPappas.com www.CalPappas.blogspot.com 1994 Zimbabwe 1997 Zimbabwe 1998 Zimbabwe 1999 Zimbabwe 1999 Namibia, Botswana, Zambia--vacation 2000 Australia 2002 South Africa 2003 South Africa 2003 Zimbabwe 2005 South Africa 2005 Zimbabwe 2006 Tanzania 2006 Zimbabwe--vacation 2007 Zimbabwe--vacation 2008 Zimbabwe 2012 Australia 2013 South Africa 2013 Zimbabwe 2013 Australia 2016 Zimbabwe 2017 Zimbabwe 2018 South Africa 2018 Zimbabwe--vacation 2019 South Africa 2019 Botswana 2019 Zimbabwe vacation 2021 South Africa 2021 South Africa (2nd hunt a month later) ______________________________ | ||

Contact Ron Peterson at Ron Peterson's Guns in Alburquerque NM. He might be able to help. You can also contact Rocky Mountain Shooters Supply in Ft. Collins CO and ask to be put into contact with Dick Beck. He has been known to have had several Winchester parts guns and might be able to hook you up. | |||
