Rifled T/C .56 SB

[nit wit]

I had a T/C .56 smooth bore carbine. I sent her to Bobby Hoyt and he rifled it for me. It shoots .550 balls fine.

How deep is the rifling? I have asked for deeper than the normal T/C rifling .010 for my conical shooters.

 

[nit wit]

I don't remember, It probably .10-.12 deep.

You mean .010-.012 right? Most t/c are somewhat shallower. Mr Hoyt cut them at .010 for mine.

T/C factory barrels are usually. 005 deep.

Yo nit wit.
Had one of those and seriously considered just what you did.
Glad to see somebody make it work.
Is the narrow land rifling helping to make the .55 balls load easily?

Kudo's........ I wouldn't do that to mine because I like it's smoothbore performance with both PRB & birdshot
