But it sure would be interesting to pick it up for a song and have it re-bored to .54 or .58 caliber with deep rifling and a slow twist for round balls.
Had the same idea sir, I got a rusted .451cal barrel from a friend and sent it to another friend -now a .54cal with 1:56 twist. I understand it has the Henry-type of rifling - rounded edges and not square as traditional. Been staring at the barrel for 2 years now, maybe you should come visit me, inspire me to build a inline with a scope
