Anyone in Canada who can rebore a revolver barrel to .475"?

Looking for somebody capable of reboring a revolver barrel, located in Canada, to .475". Tall order I'm sadly aware.

Yes, unfortunately his machines are only set up for rifle barrels. He's also moving and taking on no new projects til after New Years.

Did you try Bob Jury in Red Deer?

No, don't even know of him, will try to look him up and thanks.

Don't know if he does that type of work but there is how to get a hold of him. Hmmm ...now I'm thinking you said re-bore. Do you mean re-chamber or drill out a bigger bore? Bob is a barrel maker and does not chamber. Great guy, have a couple of his barrels.
Again don't know if he works on hand guns, but Julian at DownRange Precision (nw of Edmonton) is chambering my Jury barrel.

Brownells used to sell blank .475 pistol bbls, I bought one some years back. - dan

Oh crap. That means another 6 mos. wait on top of his usual 9-10 (?). Oh well, my project has been a safe queen for a few years so I guess another year's wait won't matter.

Tried Bob Jury, nice fellow talked to him today, but he's not set up for .475" unfortunately. Took a gander Dan and nothing currently on Brownells, I hope to have a Colt .38 barrel rebored anyhow, keep the markings, profile, and ejector accommodations etc.
