S.Beck octagon barrel heavy and Octagon rifling

[Texas Gun]

I came across this S.Beck barrel at a garage sale it’s a little rusty and the barrel was packed full of dirt but it’s still in fairly good shape clean the barrel out it’s a little pitted on the inside and outside it’s pretty thick I was thinking I could have somebody build a rifle out of it

i’m wondering if anybody’s ever heard S.Beck be for

The measurements
across flat to flat 1-1/8
long 40-5/8
i think it is a 45 or 44 a .440 ball wold just about fill the rifling out

Might be Samuel Beck from Indiana

Only Beck I've ever heard of was John Phillip Beck who was a notable Pa longrifle maker . Does it have vent hole for flint or a drum and nipple set up ?

You could send that barrel to Bobby Hoyt and have it drilled and re-rifled,,,,

sorry i been gone guys with all that’s been happening in the world Recently I have not had time for my own hobbies

I believe this was percussion cap but I could be wrong

How much does it cost to get it re-Rifled

PS would like to make it a 60 or 68 cal
it make it lighter and there plenty of barrel thickness

Might be Samuel Beck from Indiana
