Rice pistol barrels are up to 12" long and cost between $130-$150
Ahhh.....good point.I would but those only go up to .50cal.
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.Do y'all think it's doable to take a 1" 50cal T/C Hawken barrel, cut it down to a pistol barrel length, rebore it to 54cal, and make it a 1:30 twist?
Reason would be for a T/C Hawken Pistol as my mockup picture shows.
No worries. Let's put it this way...I'm a former college football offensive lineman.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!!
Yes, I saw that. And I've seen half octagon half round barrels that might work.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.
Won't be saving much but OTOH, Rice will probably do the barrel at 54 but the breech plug is gonna gitcha!Save your money and buy a new barrel made for a pistol

Hoyt can rebore it to 5450 caliber T/C Hawken barrels are 15/16”, not 1”. Unless you have a 50 caliber T/C Renegade barrel, which are 1” ATFs.
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.Won't be saving much but OTOH, Rice will probably do the barrel at 54 but the breech plug is gonna gitcha!

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.Won't be saving much but OTOH, Rice will probably do the barrel at 54 but the breech plug is gonna gitcha!

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/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'd settle for 15/16".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.
