O.K. Guys. I called T/C today and gave them my serial number on my SCOUT Muzzleloader. I am the original owner but stupidly threw the paperwork away when I got it as a Christmas gift. T/C ran the serial number and said it was made between Sept and Oct. 1996. It isa 24 inch barrel,blued/synthetic stock, 50 cal., 1-48 TWIST. Don't know if this is RARE or NOT ?????
You can check it very simply yourself...seat a tight fittng patch/jag combo, make the rod where it comes out ofthe muzzle, and also make an alignment mark on it...slowly with draw the rod and cound the number of revolutions the alignment marks makes by the time the jag comes out.
Measure the amount of inches that the rod was in the bore, and with the # of turns it made coming out, you can do the math to figure the twist rate...personally I'll be shocked if it's a 1:48" barrel.
