Barrel for .475 No. 2 Jeffery

Does anyone know where I might locate a barrel for .488 diameter bullets? I would love to get a single shot rifle guilt in .475 No. 2 Jeffery NE, but I have been unable to locate a barrel blank that would work for this caliber.

Admiral,

Krieger lists a barrel for the .475 Jeffery No.2 but it has a .485 groove diameter

You could also try the Oregon Barrel Co.

Krieger, it's a great Ruger #1 conversion.

thanks for the leads - I will try Oregon Barrle Co. next week. The Krieger barrel is just a bit too tight for a .488 Woodleigh bullet.
