Replacement Barrel Question (GPR)

[rhwestfall]

I gave up on a 1 in 32" fast twist barrel (for now) and got a replacement 1 in 60" (factory) for my flintlock GPH now a GPR - same caliber. Question: The new barrel came with a new tang - is it necessary to switch this out?

Thoughts please.

 

I dont think you would have to change it.See how the new barrell fits in the old tang.Should be the same.

 

Just curious,but why did you change to a round ball barrell?Good choice BTW.

I'm trying to eliminate mystery of just spraying PRB's. No consistency. Probably more me than the barrel, but I wanted to explore a slower twist. Rumors say too much twist just isn't friendly to a PRB, and I like shooting them. They are cheap and simple.

When I bought my flint GPR barrel to convert my percussion version, the flint barrel fit in the original tang just fine. (the lock didn't, but that's another post)

When I got my GPR flinter , I also got both barrels , they are interchangeable , the other tang can be your spare one .
