50 Cal. barrel

Post by John »

Looking for a company that makes .50 cal. barrles for black powder cartridge. Lilja has 50 BMG, twist to fast. Green mountain, Douglas, Shilen, Wind river, and any others I have found only go to .45 cal. T.J.'s makes liners that have the right bore but don't know if he can turn one out that is big enough OD.

Green Mountain DOES make 50 cal BPC blanks. I assume you are the same poster I saw on the old board, but just in case you missed it, they have a website which isGreen Mountain Rifle Barrels and which listed them recently. They make the big .50's in both button and single point cut rifled variants, or at least did when I did a product review on them for the ASSRA Journal last Summer.

I've seen Badger mentioned in this regard before.

No personal experience with them however.

Yeah, Green River here in Oz list quite a few .50 cal barrels, all in 1:70 twist I think. Also CVA.
