I have had a .38-72 barrel on order with Badger since the beginning of time.  It was supposed to be ready in September (16 weeks).  Not surprisingly, they didn't make that deadline - but the fact that they haven't made it yet, and they have promised at least three times to call me back and tell where it is in the que when I call to ask - this gets really really old.   

I'd go somwhere else in a heart beat but I cannot find anyone that can make a 30" full octagon #2 Wichester profile - No, Geen Mt. does not make that profile.   

I don't care much about what twist it  might be.  12-14" twist would be fine, but it has to be a #2 full octagon.

Any suggestions?  I'm counting on this barrel to go elking this fall so time is running out (by gun work standards).

Glenn, 
Thanks for your suggestion - quality time with a draw file is something I will reserve for my prison years I think.  But I appreciate the thought.

I like your PacNor barrel idea a lot better.  I wonder where I can find their website?   

If I were to find such a beast, would you be interested in mounting and chambering (I think I can find the reamer)?  I would be doing the polish and blue myself.
