I'm planning to build a replica William Bailes ca. 1760 double. It requires swamped barrels. Commercially available swamped barrels don't fit the description. Barrel makers contacted (Colerain, Rice, etc, etc) have either declined or not responded to a request for custom barrel work. So, I'm bringing this to the community.
I have raw round blanks in 19 and 11 bore. All that's needed is to machine the blanks into barrels. Anyone here have or know of someone that does have the machine capability to do this? Drawings can be provided for review on request. Thanks!
Hank
