Shoot, just use the barrel bands you have. They’re correct for the stock.
Does the stock have a place for a rod retaining spoon and it’s retaining pin?
If so, that will hold your 1866 (it’d be the best for that stock) rod in place.

I understand that you want to trade. If that doesn't work out S&S has them for 60.00. Ken

Fred Gaarde my apologies if my post was confusing. I have a Model 1870 project and I don't have any barrel bands at all. I need a LOT of parts and I realize I'm going about this the hard way but it's the only way I can own these things on my limited budget.

Along with S&S you can find most parts on eBay.
If you're anywhere near Allentown PA. There is the Forks on the Delaware gun show this weekend. There are usually a couple vendors there who sell parts for antique firearms.
