Hi!
I am interested in adding a second take down barrel assembly for my Winchester 1886 rifle currently in .33 Winchester. In my state I can only hunt deer with a straight walled rifle cartridge. Interested in adding a 45-70 barreled action using a second take down barrel set I have.
My questions are:
Who is recommended to do this re-barreling?
How many grooves were used in Winchester 45-70 barrels?
What type of rifling?
Twist rate?
Thanks for any information!
Jim
