Good deal for the guy wanting a quality first custom gun

I'm sorry I don't know the twist rate.

According to The Tennessee Valley Manufacturing website, the barrel is a 42'' Colerain bbl. I don't know if that helps?

If I may help some. I have had a number of straight green mountain barreled guns. All Shot great I believe them to be 1/66 50 cal up.

Does 1/66 mean it is best suited for round ball ?

Does 1/66 mean it is best suited for round ball ?

Yes. The larger the number 66, 72, and higher (slower twists) are better for patched round balls. the lower number 1:24, 1:36, fast twists will stabilize conicals.

Does 1/66 mean it is best suited for round ball ?

1:66 means that the projectile makes one full revolution in 66'' of forward travel. The slower the rate the better for patched round balls. 1:9, 1: 12, 1:24, 1:36 are all for pointed projectiles. the faster twist rates (lower numbers) are too fast for patched round balls and make their trajectory unstable. You will see some factory production guns have a 1:56 twist rate.....this is a compromise that will shoot both Patched Round balls and Conicals ......just ok.

I wouldn't worry about it, Hendrie makes great guns and is super easy to deal with! I think the world of him!

Colerain .50 caliber barrels are usually 1-56" twist.

 

[rick1964]

I can almost for sure tell you that is a green mountain barrel by the muzzle which is what jack used till the last few years as no one could seem to get barrels from green mountain venders went to colerain maybe in 2012
