I have a Sharon .54 cal Hawken kit that I built back in '76. The rate of twist is 1:72".

Guess I didn't read it thoroughly - sorry.

.54 as listed or .45 as described?

Jim, Congrats on a your purchase of a fantastic muzzleloader! In order to achieve its best accuracy, spend a few more dollars on "Black Powder Rifle Accuracy System" by Dutch Schultz. This information is worth its weight in gold! https://blackpowderrifleaccuracy.com/

This is just my highly prejudiced personal opinion! Withdraw this post and re-list it for at least $1500. When it comes to accuracy, Sharon Rifle Barrel Co. Hawken rifles are neck & neck with tbose produced by Green River Rifle Works. "Back in the day" my .54 cal Sharon Hawken and I placed in...

Selair_chapman, et. al., Hopefully this link will clear up the bore diameter (pounds versus inches) discussion: http://www.civilwarartillery.com/calibertopounder.htm

I have a rifled 1842 musket for sale.

Barrel width is 0.813 or 13/16-inch. Weight is 8 pounds.

Using my snowblower at the moment - will get back to you.

Would like to sell my mint condition, unfired DGW Squirrel Rifle with original box (box has seen better days since 1980 or so). $1500 + shipping. The frizzen on the DGW lock has no scratches as flint has never been installed in the jaw of the cock. All other metal and wood is in "as new"...

Very surprised your flinter has not sold. When DGW began selling them during the late 70s or so, many buckskinners competed very well with them.

As I recall, during the late 70s or early 80s, this story/article appeared in "Buckskin Report". Of course, ensuing issues of the magazine contained a plethora of comments in the letters to the editor section.

When viewing IMG_72001.JPG, it appears the bore is sleeved. Note the lower radius of the bore,

Bump.

Bump.

Revised & bumper to the top.

Squirrel Rifle is still available.
