    Relining a Springfield Trapdoor Barrel

    For those of you that have a Springfield Trapdoor (TD) or for that matter, any antique “shooter” that has a pitted or damaged bore, you may be interested in the following article. I decided to have a TD carbine barrel relined and did a good bit of research on the subject, which you may find interesting. Click on the following link to the article:

    Hi guys,

    There was a typo in the article which has been corrected. Bobby Hoyt uses 12L14 stock for making his liners, not 12F14.

    I just updated the article with comments from Lee Shaver about his simpler and much less time-consuming process to break in a new cut-rifled barrel.* Even if you don't intend to have a TD barrel relined, it's worth you time to read the article for Lee's comments.
