Old Buffet barrel cracks again

I've had an old Buffet (c. 1936) barrel repaired twice, by a supremely competent repairman. It's cracked (in the same place) yet again.

This is an odd barrel with a lower exit bore that is smaller than anything I've ever seen (it's off the charts, measured against about eight other barrels). You want to talk about what they call "choke" in a barrel/UJ set-up, this it IT!!! I believe it's the original barrel for my 21K series Buffet and I hate to say goodbye to it - but - that's how it's looking now.

Are there any more permanent fixes for these old wooden barrels?

I suppose I ought to send it to alseg and have him duplicate the specifications .... shoudk have done this awhile ago!

Bill.
