    Pedersoli Barrel question

    Question. Can this barrel be left full length and reamed to .62 smooth bore, or should I have it cut off about 5-6 inches and re-crowned, keeping the rifling intact and: requiring 3 additional dovetails, shortening of the stock, relocation of ramrod thimbles, etc? Do you think the bore is still...

    Pedersoli Barrel question

    I bought a Pedersoli Frontier at a gun show a few weeks ago. I have never shot a flintlock before. I own three other cap locks that I have deer hunted with and thought this might be a new challenge. I took it home to clean it good and there is a noticeable ring in the rifling about 4-6 inches...
