Does anyone know where I can get a 25-35 sleeve for an old single shot rifle. Or, a possible replacement octagon barrel in 25-35?

Nope, not that lucky, it's a belgium gun chambered in 360 rook. I found a Winchester barrel and ordered it but now have to find someone to deal with the metric vs American threads. Anyone know of a barrel guy that can help with the new thread issue?

Forgot to mention, the Winchester barrel is used and I bought at a good price. The Belgium gun is a single shot rolling block and simple but well made and is worth the effort with what I have in the gun.

Carl,
Have you removed the barrel from the rolling block? If so, what is the major diameter of the threads? What is the major diameter of the Winchester thread? Due to the difference in head diameter between the two cartridges there is a possibility that the Winchester threads can be turned off and the shank re-threaded for the rolling block thread. However, for the same reason, doing that may very well result in a barrel shank too small for the 25-35. You may find it necessary to cut the chamber portion of the Winchester barrel off and chamber it to 25-20 instead. I would recommend you sell the Winchester barrel and have the rolling block lined to 38 S&W Special and load it to 360 ballistics.

The gun's on its way back to me so I can't answer the questions at the moment. Supply more info later.

A Bing search turns up several gunsmithing firms doing relining.

Im hoping the conversion to 25-35 works out, that's the preferred outcome for me, 25-20 would be the next. Thanks researcher, I may check back with you if need be.

Another recommendation for liners from Track of the Wolf.
Depending on your goals, would you consider reboring instead? Obviously, you have to go up in bullet caliber, but perhaps a pistol cartridge would suffice. JES Reboring is incredibly fast (11 days over Christmas including shippi g) and inexpensive(<$300 several years ago).

If you are a handloader, dont forget the 32 S&W long or 32 H&R mag. They are great little rook calibers.
