I would but those only go up to .50cal.
Ahhh.....good point.
But I will tell you that I shoot a 12" barreled flintlock pistol. With 50gr 3F shooting a Hornady Pa Conical....the recoil is quite stout.
A .54 cal barrel would be lighter than a 50 cal (less metal....bigger bore) and would likely be "more stouter". I hope you're young and have thick wrist!!
50 caliber T/C Hawken barrels are 15/16”, not 1”. Unless you have a 50 caliber T/C Renegade barrel, which are 1” ATFs.
No worries. Let's put it this way...I'm a former college football offensive lineman.
. Besides, look at the quote on my profile. "Big Bores Matter"
Yes, I saw that. And I've seen half octagon half round barrels that might work.

Won't be saving much but OTOH, Rice will probably do the barrel at 54 but the breech plug is gonna gitcha!
Hoyt can rebore it to 54
Yep, correct for an 15/16” barrel, and he will take a T/C 1” ATF barrel to 58 caliber rifled or 60 caliber smoothbore.
OP was asking about a reboring of a 50 caliber T/C Hawken barrel 1” ATF that doesn’t exist, unless he has a Renegade barrel to work with.
Strange that his profile says "Big Bores Matter" but he is only looking at a 54 caliber, kind of a midrange caliber for muzzleloaders.
I'm not sure if Rice has the breech plug already bored and tapped. To me, I don't think about that as I do my own.

Looking at Rice's site, he has 15/16" pistol barrels available in up to 54 cal, and can install a breech plug for $25.
I just did a quick look ....they have 1" wide pistol barrels that go up to 62 caliber. https://ricebarrels.com/product/pis...6-1-18-1-20-square-and-radius-groove-rifling/

Well, 25 bucks with your BP or 25 to install his.
If you watch track you can get the breech plugs on and off. If you stick with your tc barrel you will already be breeched.
