A new to me barrel (still in the white) is 1" across the flats with a 32" length.
It has 3/8" dovetails cut at 1.25" from muzzle for front sight base and at 19.25" from muzzle for rear sights.
It has a tapped breech for a plug that is 5/8". No nipple barrel hole has been drilled yet.
The bore slugged at .342 smallest and .345 largest between the lands diameter and .352 smallest and .355 largest diameter between grooves.
I don't know how to really measure twist but .35 bronze brush with 2 wraps of flannel on a marked rod gives me an idea of .7 turns in the 32" barrel. I am thinking of shooting 00 buck through it once I get it mounted on my H&A underhammer rifle.
Any advice? Thanks, Lucky
