My new rifle

[Idaho Ron]

I have had a Stainless Green Mountain 45 cal LRH barrel sitting in my safe for about 10 years waiting for me to do something with it.
Well I picked up a donor TC Renegade. I installed a Lee Shavers mid range Sole sight with a Hadley eye cup with a Lee Shavers Ferriss front sight. I think I am ready to shoot it.

A very nice looking rifle.

[Idaho Ron]

What's the twist rate and barrel length?

The twist is 1-30 the length is 28.

If you'd rather save the powder and lead just send it down to Texas. Christmas was delayed this year due to covid and i promise i've been good all year!!!


Looks like a winner.. keep us posted.

That's the plan. I should have got video of the whole process.

 

[VA Hawken]

Very nice rifle!

To be true to the genre i'm certain you'll only use a prb.... that's the reason for the target sights, no?

Seriously, i'm thinking I read of you using an 11mm cast paper patched bullet in your 45's... but I haven't had coffee yet, anything is possible.

 

[deermanok]

Pretty cool looking.

 

[Doc Ivory]

WOW!!!
Pretty dang nice!

 

[TFoley]

That's a right fast twist for PRB.

 

[nebhunt]

That is a double wow

I'm going to start with that bullet. But I'm also thinking something a little more sleek. Haven't decided yet.

 

[Eterry]

Ron, is the 43 Spanish and the 11 mm the same bullet?
I missed a rolling block in 43 Spanish, always regret that.

So, after ten years of gathering dust you have finally fashioned the rifle you should have been shooting all along! that 1:30 seems a bit slow though.

Yes it is a bullet used in the 43

I have a Hawken that is set up the same. I have been using for l those years. So this is a second one.
