HPD Hope to get the barrel soon , will be sure and give an evaluation ASAP. The only original barrel that I have extra now is a Round 22" 45/60 wcf . But will keep an eye out. The rifle pictured is a beauty to me. There was a time that this type of configuration was not well liked by me. Funny now I like em a lot! It was a 1873 Winchester that Richard Boone carried in that movie. Remember it well. A while back I was lucky enough to purchase a 1873 Winchester with Half Mag, Half oct./ round barrel ,fancy wood. That is when this style started growing on me. Good luck on your build ,,,,,,,,DT
