	I forgot I had this barrel! It's definitely in loose hands. Have no idea who made it but have been told it may have been Numeric Arms. New barrel, 24 inches long, marked Favorite, blued, dovetails cut, chambered and the shank measures .664 diameter. If interested we can talk. Bob

	West Hurley makes it Numrich for sure. Doesn't look like the retaining screw dimple has been cut, and that's not as simple as job as you might think. It not only keeps the barrel in, it also maintains headspace. The shape is important, and the position is critical.

	Correct, the the retaining dimple has not been cut. Doesn’t make any difference to me if he’s interested or not, I had forgot about it, but he says turning and milling is not an issue so he should be able to handle it. And, you are very correct about the importance of it being done correctly. I thought Westhurley was the name of a town in NY. Bob

Also have good wood, buttplate. I’m keeping the sights. I’ve put liners in probably half dozen or more barrel so I could probably do it but, not sure I want to get into that and would need your action besides. Bob Do you know how much you would want for this barrel? Danny

It just differs from my barrel in that the octagon section on mine is rounded. Right now I would prefer to stay with a more identical looking replacement. Danny

It not only keeps the barrel in, it also maintains headspace. The shape is important, and the position is critical. Just for sake of education on these, without talking mine apart to look at it, I am assuming, the part where you mention maintaning headspace, if you don't get the dimple in the correct location, that you could cause the retaining screw to walk into an incorrectly located dimple, possibly forcing the barrel off of the receiver shoulder, lengthening headspace? Is that a correct observation, at least, assuming that the dimple got located wrong in that direction? Danny
