Round muzzleloader barrels?
Green Mountain, Colerain, they all make octagon barrels. Does anyone sell 30+" round muzzleloader barrels?

Any company that sells barrels should be able to provide you with what you want. You may have to call them to special order it.

They are all round before they are octagon. Call Colrain.
And anyone with a lathe can make them round. I routinely make oct to round ones for NW Trade Guns.

To my knowledge, no maker uses octagon stock any more, although some used to. It is not easy to keep the hole straight for a 42 inch barrel, although some runout didn't hurt anything. So they use round bar stock and then mill it octagon. Or octagon to round.
