    Bought a new to me rifle!

    Well I picked her up tonight. Gr Douglas barrel, RE Davis lock and triggers. 45 cal and very well balanced and thin. Barrel is smooth and still has great rifling. No builder Name. Owner stated he thought it was an older Gary Ford. No proof though. Can't wait to get to the Range.

    Thanks for all the info I bought the rifle tonight. Its beautiful and barrel looks great. Took one shot before dark and cleaned her up. Barrel is very smooth. Well balanced and super thin. Gonna have to wait until this cold snap passes and take it to the range. Gonna post pics in new thread.

    Wear out a barrel?

    I am looking at an older Flintlock with a 45 cal Douglas barrel. Beautiful rifle, but is it possible to wear out a barrel shooting patched round ball. I know cartridge guns can burn out a barrel but have never heard of an old muzzleloader being burned out. Not enough pressure i believe but not sure.
