Ed Rayle made a couple brass barrels for unique flintlock pistols made by the gunsmith in Williamsburg. Is he still around?

I have not seen any notice of his passing, but can't say for sure

some of the current muzzle loader parts dealers still list him as a barrel maker

and i have seen discussions of orders from him on the longrifle board in the past few months
