Just the barrel without sights or breech plug.  I think my father in law has one he will sell.

Not sure how long it is, 6" or 7" I think???

Fletcher, Yes, preferably without sights or breechplug, but I guess that really doesnt matter.    I just finished my new rifle, so Im starting to gather parts for a matching caliber pistol for it.   Let me know   Sean

If you want a new barrel, the Oregon Barrel Company can make you exactly what you want.  I got two barrels from them exactly like I ordered.  You can contact them through The Gun Works on-line.

Try Muzzleloaders Builders Supply in Idaho.  They have a pretty good supply of all types of pistol barrels.

My Father in Laws barrel is a .45 not a.54 and he has most of the parts to make it now if his arthritis will not stop him.  Sorry about the false alarm but I am sure there are many folk will barrel parts or know who has some.  Good Luck.
