old barrels
I am looking for some rifle, pistol, or shotgun barrels especially barrels showing throat corrosion, damaged chambers, or any other problems for the gunsmith apprenticeship program. We will cut them open to use as training aids. Please pm me for more info.

May I ask what part of the worl you are in? (Would you happen to be doing a few reboring to larger calibers?) Wink

In in Washington state. No I'm retired and work as a apprenticeship coordinator for TAOGART. www.taogart.org
Their are several people that do reboring, it is a good way to salvage a barrel but in some cases it is nearly as expensive as buying a new barrel. Any barrels we get will be cut in half length wise for training aids.
