That is a well spent $20

I normally found that when the rifles were abused... the less the powder charge the better they shot. Have you tried a patched roundball in that rifle?

That 90 grain target don't look too bad.

You remind me of my buddy Roger. He trips over good deals like yours all the time. But he does drive a hard bargain. Once he found a nice WWII rifle that a lady wanted to know if he would pay $4.00 for it. He hemmed and hawed and finally ask the little old lady if she would take $2.00 for it. She did!!!
Good luck with the prize and have as much fun shooting it as you can my friend! |
I now have 3 muzzle loaders with pitted barrels that I have picked up on the cheap over the years. I would like to have them bored out to the next larger caliber. Do you think that is possible to get rid of the pitting? And if so how much do you think it would cost per barrel, and who do you know that could do this kind of work?

On pitted barrels. Would shooting conicals smooth them out?

Reboring is common with sidelocks. I believe the current cost is somewhere around $100 - not bad considering you're getting what is basically a new barrel. Give these guys a call to check price and options. Ed Rayl, P.O. Box 91, Gassaway WV 26624 304-364-8269 Robert Hoyt, 700 Fairfield Station Rd. Fairfield, PA 17320 717-642-6696 As for in-lines, I just don't know if either one of those guys (or anyone) rebores them. Let us know if you find out anything along those lines. |
