A friend picked up a muzzle loader a while back thinking it was a rifle. it is a smooth bore, with no markings or Man. stamp. I put some of the sizes in the pictures. trying to find out more information about it. the bore is .54" which if a shotgun would put it around a 28 gauge. the outside dia, at the end of the barrel is around .870" and next to the nipple is 1.23"
I really don't know what question to ask, or even where to start looking for answers, but after looking at this forum, I figured why not ask, someone that might know a hole lot more than me...
the next question is about an replacement nipple. it appears that it has metric 1.0 threads. but the outside dia. of the threads is 7.25mm, or .2850". from what I am seeing on some web pages is not standard. I am looking at making an replacement on my lathe. with either 4140 or 416 SS. but it would be nice to find one already made....
