Yes, that pretty much ruled out a rebore for me - almost price of new. I'm probably going with a McGowen - but I have to sell some things first.
Douglas is about the same money as a McGowen and i think a better barrel . Lothar Walther is DEFINETELY one for you to look at too . So far i like them best for the money , contours , .458 1 in 18 (slow as is available) , threaded both ends if wanted . They are REALLY nice barrels too !!! Myself , i think gettin one threaded for a brake NOW is smart move cuz its damn expensive later on !!! You can always cap it if not used .Well its $300 to $350 for a barrel rebore . Thats not really worth it . The only good thing is they are cut rifled which IS a better method . I see no guarentees for accuracy or if they must scrap it . Id stick to a new barrel ..
That Lothar Walther is the best buy if you ask me .Douglas is about the same money as a McGowen and i think a better barrel . Lothar Walther is DEFINETELY one for you to look at too .

I guess bestill is payin attention to us Patrick !!! Thats GOOD !!! LOL !!! The brux is cut rifled , that makes that one a no brainer for me if the budget allows !!!! Cant beat them !!!Hmmm - not sure now, more checking
Dont like Lothar Walthers bestill ??? Gotta be a reason.......Brux barrel
Or Douglas
Yes choked muzzles are JUNK , too many mz's come that way !!!! Ultimate firearms used Lothar's . Hope His fortune is with you in the woods hunting !!! I always invite Him along....Not had much experience with lothar walther.
Timeline, quality and customer service at brux is hard to beat and they are extremely experienced with muzzleloader barrels.
Can't have a choked muzzle obviously so finish lapping is crucial.
Yes I'm not going anywhere.
Just like to hunt this time of year
For what ASG offers definately .I was thinking that also - Brux seems a little more on the heavy options
Perfect !!!Brux #6 blank is $320 at Hankins. Thats a little lighter than a Sendaro.
Good idea , and after its done , with practice and a good scope , its a HUNTABLE 600 yd capable rifle too !!! Thats with BH !!!You wont blow that barrel with BH209. It has a 5" or 6" long full sized shank. That leaves plenty for threading and plug length. Luke might have something similar for around $325. I would go with a 28" 1-18 if heavy BH209 load sabotless is the main goal. That will stabilize virtually anything you could shoot. You can always get it cut down later if you need/want. The 28" should leave you with around 26"+ of usable barrel after its all done.
Patrick thats not going to be a tank with that contour and a 45 cal hole through it id have to say . Its not gunna be your mountain rifles weight but honestly what is ??Brux #6 blank is $320 at Hankins. Thats a little lighter than a Sendaro.
