Questiong about a Chambers kit

[bamamarine]

I'm thinking about getting another Jim Chambers kit. The last two I bought were great. I couldn't think of anything bad to say about them if I wanted to. The one I want now is the Mark Silver Virgina Rifle. Most of my other rifles are .50 cal. and I'd like to stick with that caliber. Does anyone know if I can get that kind in .50? I sent them an e-mail from their web site but I haven't heard back yet. I'm sitting in the desert in Iraq so I can't pick up the phone and call. I've got more than an couple of months before I go home but I'd like to have it waiting for me when I get home.

You can have them special order it, but it is going to be really Heavy......... Reason I know that is I have one that was ordered in .58 caliber. I would not go with less than a .58 on it as it is a large rifle. The reason this was ordered in .58 is because the .58 ball is much cheaper to shoot & less to ship than the .62. When you jump to the .62 cal, the price really jumps....... :hmm:

Thanks for the input. Guess I'll make a Lancaster fit waht I want.

I built the rifle in .62 cal and it shoots better than I can. Try it, you might like it!

I picked the .62 cal as it shoots the same size ball as my trade gun. 2 guns, one horn and one bag (with 2 thicknesses of patches, one for each gun).

I too did one of these in a .58 and I would have to agree that a .50 cal in that barrel size would be a bit heavy.
