Cool! Any specs?

Yeah, any idea is it going to be the proper .62 caliber with the a really slow twist? Originals were a 1/4 turn for the length of the barrel, which would be a 1:120, but I don't know if that was the first specified twist-rate, and they did something else or if they stuck to that.

I wish I would be at the shot show to answer this questions but i will shoot an email to pedersoli, they answered all my questins in the past and even replaced parts free of charge, very nice folks work there
 
Like my good friend Dusty asks ... 2 HUGE factors will be (1) the breech design, and (2) what is the barrel's rate of twist?

FWIW my 2 good friends, each who built a TRS Baker kit having the 1-in-120" slooooooow twist, need to use charges in excess of 100-grns to get any decent accuracy at distance (our range #4 goes out to 600-yards).

Stay tuned ...
 
There's NO WAY that's a 1-in-12" twist barrel! You had better email them AGAIN, lol!

FWIW the 1805 models are rare, here's an original one that just sold recently for $23,000!

If the originals were 1:120", I'm wondering if the the 1:12 was a typo meant to be 1:120".....the hmmmm's abound.
