    Zonie Thanks for the explanation and the CO2 link.... which, I thought was directly related to the discussion we were having about mz.

    Stuck ball in a charged rifle

    I could be mistaken... which happens a lot, actually, but my understanding was the psi from a 16-gram CO2 was between 90-130... but realistically closer to 120 in a good day.

So... (from the 9 pages here) I thought Sharron made barrels for T/C from the start... and stamped...

    Serial Number Dating a T/C

    For what it's worth... I have a .45 pre-warning flintlock barrel with a spade stamped on the bottom..... serial 6***. Bought it used... 6-8 yrs ago... but maybe the stamp and serial number will help... eventually. Thanks to everyone who had some input to this thread over the years.
