You are right Cowboy. I see a "I" and made in Italy. Any idea the twist? Not marked on the barrel. Gave. $ 250 as he said it was a tc. I can take it back.That’s an Investarms model 160 carbine my friend.
Not aware that Lyman ever stocked them? Cabela’s definitely did!

The blued Cableas’ carbine versions I had were fast twist, maybes 1-30 or so and shot conicals pretty well.
Many variations of these guns were manufactured over years. The Cabelas’ ‘Hawkens’ carbines I have owned had 21” barrels with a fast twist, if my memory is correct, all were 1-30 or 1-32. Doesn’t mean there weren’t versions with 1-48 twists made and sold. My sample size is only three, and I only have the one stainless sample left.I stand corrected then? I stated that the twist was 1:48.
Last thing I want to do is give inaccurate information. Doesn’t do anyone any good.

The model 160 came in two versions. Standard 28” barrel and the carbine version. That’s what you have my friend, the carbine version.
The twist is 1:48
InvestArms has always made descent muzzleloader’s. They’re definitely comparable to TC in quality for these types of rifles.

This morning I looked down the barrel with a light, not good so it's going back.
