I have several barrels in 62 cal 2 Green mountain 1 Rice 2 Colerain all are 1" across the flat and 32" and longer all drop into a T/C Renegade. Are you looking for a drop in or are you having a barrel re-bored? 1" barrel will support a 62 cal.

Bob Hoyt bored my 1.25" tapered to 1" barrel out from a .54 to a .62 caliber. The issue, as he explained on the phone, is how much meat there is to work with for the breech plug and threads. I would have the barrel-smith look at it and make that judgment call. Otherwise, from what Hoyt explained, there should be enough metal for you to do it.

I have a 1" that shoots a .610 patched ball just fine using 150FF Goex......but 80 to 125FF is nicer to shoot. :grin:

Makeumsmoke could you tell me where you purchased the flint breech plug to do your conversions?
