Just as an exercise in compiling info, please help me make a list of every American barrel maker you can think of.

Here are the ones I can think of right off:

Douglas
Shilen
Hart
McMillion
Broughton
Krieger
McGowen
ER Shaw
Green Mountain.
Criterion
Lilja
Bartlein
Brux

Please add any you remember that I have missed.

There used to be Elysium in Raton, New Mexico and they were subcontractors for many other barrel makers. Unfortunately they closed. We students use to be able to buy barrels cheap from them and many students worked part time there to help pay for school.

Boots Obermeyer. Made some of the top barrels with 5R rifling.

What about the Factory barrels? I used a lot of "Take offs" and discontinued model barrels over the years.
