This is the only printing visible on the bbl.

Early production models will have barrels slightly under 7/8 closer to 13/16. Both my TMRs have narrow barrels. While I don’t know the changeover I can tell you it’s higher than 326. The later builds are 15/16 on .50 and 13/16 on .32. This rifle will be 15/16.

Would anyone know if these can be converted to flint?

Yes. I have a NOS flintlock for these, if interested. Just needs a frizzen spring from Dixie. PM sent.

Would anyone know if these can be converted to flint?

I’ve done a few… Probably one of the easiest, just take your time. I’ve used the L&R RPL. The TMR-RPL is designed for the more popular 15/16 width barrels (the stocks are considerably thicker) so if you use one on a .32 Squirrel Rifle or an early slender barrel more work will be required.

I was thinking about a second barrel a .36 or .40 cal I’m really surprised no one has bought this yet !
