I know this is an oft asked question but..... I have a beautiful, original model 1898 with a crisp 1899 cartouche, fine remaining finish and a sewer pipe for a bore. Clearly used in some association's honor guard. Has anyone stumbled across a source of original barrels anywhere? I recognize this is asking for a miracle but it breaks my heart to feel the patches snag as I punch the bore. Perhaps some small parts supplier has some come up now and then. I've checked the CMPicon barrel/receivers and their stuff is worse then whats on it now.
Any help would be appreciated.
