I expect to be talking with a barrel maker fairly soon. If you have any interest in such a barrel in .451 approx. as a drop in for a P53 Enfield RSAF, LACo, or Parker Hale stock let me know. When it comes to Italian made rifles other than perhaps the new Pedersoli's I'm not sure they observed the original barrel contour in the P53 pattern rifle. They may have, I just would not assume that they did.
I'm sure any barrel maker is going to be interested in how many such barrels he might expect to turn out in short order. My forecast was correct. The first barrel maker I have approached is not interested in taking the time to create the set-up for a onesy-twosy sale. I don't blame him a bit. So let me know if you are seriously interested in such a barrel.
I expect the barrels to be un-blued and with a P53 original pattern breechplug to original dimensions.
If you will send me a Personal Message with your email address it would be appreciated.

PS - I've decided to make this a new thread as the first was about gathering information for a barrel spec. I'm working with someone who has an original Kerr rifle to help refine the barrel spec I have and provide guidance to a barrel maker.
This thread is about gathering preliminary interest information sufficient to get a repro barrel into limited production.
