Fortunately, the late ML (flintlock only) season here in Pa. helps keep us alive. I have yet to see an in-line flintlock! BPS |

I understand that the newer Investarm are faster twist. I did the yardstick bit with mine several times and it measures out to be 1 in 60". Sort of slow for conicals, that is why I shoot a short 240 grain Hornady. I have not tried RB yet, but will one day.

Plains Hunter with a 1-32 twist if you wanted to shoot conicals. |
Muley, it does not have any brand name on it other then Investarm but in appearances it is the same as the Cabelas Hawken. I did not know the twist when I bought it, it was used, pretty and appeared unfired for $125 so I bought it. I have a weakness for good looking guns, I sometimes have the means to buy the cheap ones.

How long is the barrel?
|
It is 28" from the end of the barrel to the forward edge of the part that the nipple screws into.
|
Ok, it's like the Lyman Trade rifle, and should have a 1-48 twist.
