CLOSED Investarms .54 Caliber Hawken

[kje54]

Asking $600 shipped. Not sure but the rate of twist is 1:48 based off the typical twist rate of the Lyman (Investarms is now sold under the Lyman brand).
LOP is 14"
Overall length 45"
Barrel length 29 1/2"
Measured on my not completely accurate home scale it weighs in at 9 pounds.

Was a kit my dad built quite a while ago. I have no idea if he ever fired it or not. Bore is bright, no pitting or rust.

One small scratch on side flat but I don't see any other marks. Other than that there's some dust on it showing in the pictures that I haven't cleaned off yet.

Any idea what the twist rate if this rifle is? Thanks

As I stated in the OP I'm guessing it's 1:48 based on the fact that Lymans are 1:48 and Investarms makes the Lyman Hawkens. But other than that I have no idea.

I've hunted the internet for the rate of twist on it but found nothing. What is the rate of twist on yours?

I have two GP both are 1:60
I changed the twist to 60 but the 1:32 is on barrel for sabot rifles. Google lyman

Easy to check rate of twist. With a tight fitting oiled patch on the ramrod jag, run it down the barrel till it stops. Put a piece of tape on the rod at the muzzle with a witness line drawn on the tape lined up with the sight. Pull the rod out and count the revolutions of the mark and measure the distance. This gives you the distance for 1/2 rotation. Multiply this distance by two and you will have your twist rate. If you happen to have a short barrel and a very slow twist rate of, say 1:66 or 1:70, you can measure a 1/4 rotation and multiply by 4 to get the twist rate. I'd do this several times to make sure that you have the measurement right. In case my memory is cloudy, here is a post about that.

The 58 is 1/56 or 60 and the 50 is 1-66. Going by memory. I was actually hoping for 1/48 but they weren't.
