TC firestorm

[Garbear34]

Couldn't decide whether post here or in smoothbore. So here it going. Moderator move if nessary.

I have a TC firestorm in .50 flinter. I wonder how feasible would it be to have rifling removed to make it smoothbore. I have other .50 rifles and now 2 12 gauge shot guns muzzleloaders.

I the firestorm ugly with stainless barrel and synthetic stock but nan a removable breech plug is nice and got me thinking maybe find out if 20 gauge be to big of bore.

Whay say you?

While it is a flintlock that thing is too space age for most on here. My personal opinion. If you've no use for it and there is nothing wrong with it making it need the bore altered, rehome it to someone who will appreciate it. Several collectors of the TC's on here myself included.
Then put those funds towards a 20ga flint of your choice.

Also, the way those are made in the breech end it may not even be possible to mod one like that.
