I have a .40 barrel for a CPA and would like it bored and re-rifled to a .44(438-446) with a 17 twist. John Taylor and JES don't have the tooling. Any body else?

RE: Rebore
Have you considered selling or keeping the .40 Cal barrel and ordering a Green Mountain Barrel?
I have one of those 17 twist Green Mountain Barrels in 44 Maynard (44-70) that is amazingly accurate.

RE: Rebore
The .44-70 Maynard would make a fine caliber, it is for my future. I checked on this, to have CPA fit a barrel for your action it would run about $700. with them supplying the barrel.
What is the barrel and twist of the .40 caliber you want to rebore? I might be interested in the barrel.

RE: Rebore
The barrel is a green mountain #4 Winchester taper, 16 twist, 30 inches long and D+T on 17 inch centers for an MVA 28 inch scope. Chambered for .405 Hornaday brass by CPA to be a 2.5 40/70 SS.
I built a 1885 with a badger barrel using Captech brass and I prefer to shoot it so I leave the 38/56 barrel on this CPA rifle.
Thanks for the leads on the rebore
