I've been told that the T/C White Mountain Carbine IN FIFTY CALIBER is a 1:28 twist, but haven't checked it personally. Mine shoots conicals and sabots well enough, but not PRB.... which seems to indicate that I was given good intel on the subject. Mine is the later version with the machine screw, not the wood screw.
The Williams FP is a nice piece of microengineering in my opinion. I have one on an early T/C Hawken .45. The original sights were... pretty loose. Only issue I had with it was that the supplied screw did not match the threads for the factory-drilled and tapped hole. Had to take the gun to a hardware store to match the thread and ended up having to modify the screw head.
When that gun came into the store where I worked, I bought it and then took it outside the store to walk with it on a sling for a bit. After about five minutes, I went back inside and wrote up the sale to myself. Just about then a couple of Green Bay Police Officers arrived.
Me: "Lemme guess... man with a gun out in front of the gun shop?"
They laughed about it too and asked to see the gun. One of them asked me what was "special" about it. I explained about the half-octagon barrel, the shorter-than-average length and the overly large trigger-guard that allowed for gloved fingers in Wisconsin winters. I got the impression that a call to a gun shop that didn't involve arresting somebody was one of the better calls an officer could get
