Nice work, dallen!
Which type of wood (or other material) are you planning for the stock, and are you buying a finished barrel or getting a blank (with rifled bore) and finishing it yourself?
Me, I turned down a couple more insert end mill shanks, a pair of 1" diameter, two (effective) flute 1-1/2" length of cut.
The shanks are fairly hard, I'd guess somewhere in the 50-55Rc range. Turned them from 1" with Weldon flats to simple cylindrical shank 3/4".
