Helping look for a barrel for an old Remington Rolling Block,

with zero success.  Trying to find one in suitable bore/rifling for .50-70, and finding nothing.  So far the only .50's found are for .50BMG.

Gunpartscorp.com. Used to be Numerich Arms. I’ve order quite a few parts for outdated and antique firearms there.

Green mountain barrels has changed their site around so it is a pain in the butt to find stuff. But they do have in their 27" barrel blanks for 500s&w in chrome moly and stainless. They also have a 50 cal barrel blank with a 1-28 twist in stainless. It might be for muzzleloader. I don't know what bore and groove diameter 50-70 is at the moment so I don't know if this helps. I'm assuming that you have access to a lathe for this.

Try calling Bartlein Barrels. Expensive, but very good, and they can customize barrel profile, rifling type and twist, and may be able to thread the chamber area to fit your rifle. Mostly they make very accurate target barrels.
