    Are we sure tapered touch hole liners are a good idea?

    way back in the early 70s, in the Dixie gun works catalog, they did a test, and showed that a flint gun produced greater velocity than a percussion gun. They said that as the projectile moved forward it sucked more oxygen in through the vent and caused a better burn of the powder.

    Sleeve A Rifle Barrel Into A Side x Side

    R Ellis is right. I’ve been sleeping for years, and there’s no way you can put a round sleeve in a round barrel and have it off center. All doubles are regulated to cross at a certain point.

    Half stock question.

    I understand what you mean by the 2” . You can even leave more if you want. There were some that were referred to as three quarter stocks.

    White lightning touch hole in a Thompson Center, Hawken

    On a TC, the liner will not go into the bore, only in the chamber in the plug. White lightenings require a special tap, and you will need to drill into the chamber.
