long time black powder hunter

[Blacksmith58]

Been killing elk with a muzzle loader from the early 1980's.One of my worst days was short loading and blowing up my long rifle. One of my best days, receiving my Kibler colonial kit with a percussion lock conversion done by Jim Kibler. It's now ready for hunting season

Welcome from SE PA. Shame about the rifle, but you're here to tell about it -so that's a glass half full kind of story.

Could that barrel be sawed off about 4 inches below the blasted part and turned into a carbine?

... you'd have to also amputate the remainder of the fore end and make it a half stock.

Why not?
