My 1853 three bander reproduction was made with a 48" twist bore so I'm not about to rebarrel it.
But... I've come to wonder about finding one that could use some new rifling and thought about adapting a 1853 to smaller bore with a fast twist.
Have any of you fellas done this? What did you end up with as far as bore size, twist, boolit weight?
New barrel or re-sleeve?
