So I just dug out my rifle. Haven't seen this one in a couple years. Turns out the twist is stamped right on my barrel as you said.FML said:

Got a few coming, thank you
I got a mountain stalker in 54 caliber with the synthetic stock and the barrel stamped 1-38" twist. They obviously made some various models. Mine had a plain trigger. If you drop down on a powder charge it will actually shoot prb's pretty good.
I used the barrel, lock, etc. and restocked- as a learning experience. Got some maple from Woodcrafters for $35 ad made all of the hardware except the trigger guard and butt plate.

Is that 54 a 1" or 15/16" octagon barrel?
I'll have to measure it but if I recall it is 15/16". It was a $69 Cabelas special.
It has a dovetail on the bottom of the barrel for the front ramrod pipe and no under rib- so ugly. When I decided to restock I at first wanted an under rib but that left the dovetail exposed. What to do?. Well I did a full stock and put a tenon in the forward dovetail. Track of the Wolf sells tiny wedges (slanted head) and wedge plates however I made by own. Came out okay (IMHO). The only hardware I bought was a sand cast trigger guard and sand cast butt plate- both about $10 each. As I said- a learning experience.
