Hereford Casks will do them new in stainless. I think Kammac might as well.

Cypherco will do plastic ones. I think Barley Bottom might sell them.

Second hand? No chance, they're like gold dust.

i wont bother posting ''has anyone got any cooperd pin's for sale''

You'll be lucky.

I know where you can get some new ones though. It's not really worth the risk with second hand wood.

what sort of money are they?

i do. about 100 - 130 each depending on how many. he needs the brass rings where the keystone and shiev goes tho, but hes sending a picture and messurements so i can turn some on the lathe

anyone interested in getting hold of a cooper pin/firkin? for about £100? seems that its considerably cheaper to order a few more at once. normal price seems to be around £170-£200

These guys sell barrels scroll to the bottom for them. Not sure how good they are though

i dont think they are intended for serious use, says the small ones are not water tight

SC they do new barrels aswell at the bottom of the page where they say can be used for wines and ciders.

£89 for a 20l oak.

im not convinced with them because they dont have the brass fittings on the side and tap end and they dont take a keystone or splile. they look nice
