best bet would be to take it into an 'older' gun shop where the smith has published referances .. you can try the information over at Gunbroker.com with the fellas there too..


good luck with it!

Good condition yet?

codition is good as I have shot it. I was woundering how hard it would be to find other barrels for it.

nearly impossible on the barrel thing.. always a chance of finding a set but, would most likely have to be in the right place right time and even then the condition of the set would be in question too.

If you're that interested ($$) in a set you could always have a custom shop build a set .. but, as you know - that will get a little spendy to have a good set of barrels made.
