This has been custom worked to a beautiful browning on all steel hardware and it is de-farbed (no writing on barrel). Nice curly wood and beautiful finish. Excellent condition. I will send pictures if you email

Dear 1dogdown,
THANK YOU for posting pictures! I am not computer savvy at all. My wife even has to take pictures and send them to me.
I really appreciate your help!
David

Do you know which twist rate it has?

 

[David Y. Snellen]

Gentlemen,
Could you tell me how to check for rate of twist?
Thank you,
David

David, to check twist rate, put tight fitting patch on your jag and push it down the barrel. Mark your ramrod in relation to a point on your muzzle, then count the revolutions in a set length. Then its just math.

 

[David Y. Snellen]

Gentlemen,
This is what I came up with:
Barrel outside 32''. Inside 31 1/2''. The patch and jag turned half way (as in from 12:00 to 06:00). So....
I assume 1 in 64 or 66.
Thank you,
David
