You are making a great barrel/caliber/twistchoice there. While you are there at Midsouth, check into their accessories for that barrel --- stuff like 58-cal bore brushes, roundballs, cleaning jag... etc. You will need these parts & getting them now saves on shipping costs.

Right, mine is 1" x 33" x 1:70" twist...have it in a Hawken stock...an outstanding barrel

There is a picture of my Renegade with the .58 caliber barrel. Rather a nice looking rifle if you ask me, and it does shoot as well as these other people are telling you. I was testing muslin as a patch material that day. I can almost assure you, 110 grains of Goex 2f and a patched roundball will produce a bad day for anything you shoot at.

As for the target, it's a 8x11 computer printer paper and I am sure you know more about the target them most people....

Some people think that that barrel is a little long in the woods. I could get a T/C 26" 58cal with a 1-48" twist but since I wan't to shoot roundballs I know that I could not push them as hard with that twist (90grains vs 110grains or so). I would also getbetter roundball accuracy with the Green Mountain. I know of guys on other fourms who hunt with full stock rifles that have 38" barrels and up! I think my half stock rifle with a 32" barrel would be light compared to that.

P.S. That rifle is a beauty Cayugad!!! Could you please tell me where you got that target? I wish I could get some like that.LOL

BS

NO, NO, NO!..........Buy the Greenmountain...........the 1-70 twist is much better for Hunting Loads..........If you buy the TC, you will Kick Yourself in the butt , many times.

You can always have the Long barrel shortened at a later date.

You will find most of the longer barreled guns have swamped or tapered barrels, for better ballance and to make them lighter.

I agree! The 1-70" is awesome in comparison to the shorter 1-48" 54-cal I once owned. Accuracy with the roundballs and ballets are unbelievable. Touching holes at 125 yards with a roundball that largeis all the convincing you need.

I wish midsouth would offer the GM barrel as a flinter in 58 cal.
I would jump on it for that price

roundball

I had GM put a flint plug on one, andeven at that they only charged me $190...not all that much more than the caplock at mid-south...absolutely love my .58cal Flintlock and it's a sledge hammer...put this 10 pointer on his keister right now...

Roundball,

Was your Hawken stock originally cut for a 15/16" barrel? If so, how did you go aboutyou modifying it to accept the 1" barrel.

Happy Hunting, Phil
