The barrels were made by Badger Barrels in WisconsinWell, any gunsmith that barrels actions should surely be able to handle it...I am unaware of anything special about the gun. I have one that I need to re-barrel and while I haven't done it yet I see no reason why it is any more of a job than barreling any other action. Maybe a better way to say it is if someone is telling you they are something special or difficult or otherwise different then you probably should keep looking for another gunsmith.......
Isn't he out of business now??? I did buy a Badger barrel at auction online and if I remember right it was either the man himself or his close friend alleging that this was a "personal" barrel the maker kept for use later after closing down. Could have been a story just to sell it. Barrel looks great inside.The barrels were made by Badger Barrels in Wisconsin
Lee Shaver would be a good candidate. There are a few others. Putting a barrel on a Highwall or Lowall can be more involved due to the extractor cut and if you have an octagon profile of some sort, timing the barrel.Lee Shaver did mine
Mine was done with a Brux cm 1.2” blank. It is now octagon 28” chambered in 6mm Rem AI.Lee Shaver would be a good candidate. There are a few others.

Another outfit that does good work is Wyoming Armory in Cody, WY or Steve Durren at Johnson Sporting Goods in Adrian, MI.
Do you have info for a 22 rim fire extractor cut for a low wall?Only "Japanese" high walls that had Badger barrels were the BPCR versions if I'm remembering correctly. There are dramatic differences in design between an original high wall and those made in Miroku. Pic above in Clark's post are for original extractor cut. I have re-barreled a couple of Mirokus and the barrel fitting/threading/chambering is straight forward......disassembly and reassembly to do the barrel work is another story....unless you do loads of them and get used to the procedure. I don't do them often enough to be at that point.
I have put barrels on well over a hundred high and low walls. Most either originals or the exact copies of originals made by Ballard Rifle and now by Montana Vintage Arms. I have all the numbers for extractor cuts if anyone needs them, as well as other tips I've learned working on them. More than happy to share.
