A question came up in another thread about Investarm making a .45 bore rifle.
This 1977 half stock percussion rifle with 28" barrel has a 48" twist. The relatively narrow lands and grooves are an unusual configuration for a muzzleloader compared to what's typically turned out nowadays. .451" sized bullets are a snug fit for the bore. The white stuff in the LED lighting is the rotary cut on the .451" bore and the cleaning patch fuzz sticking to it. It's never been broke in yet. This might make a jim dandy minie gun once it's slicked up.
