It was the 45-70. Of course the Springfield was the favorite... it was made at a government arsenal. They had plenty of military personnel there, which meant a faster promotion could be had than...

Thanks.

Btw, Tanner Molds in England can make you a RB mold for almost anything, and cheap.
I know many muzzleloaders who need a unique RB have turned to them. The son now runs the business.

IIRC, English black powder was sized from #2-#8. Getting finer in grind as the numbers increased, much as the F system is here in America. It'd be interesting to learn what number powder they...

I recently read, from an old article, from I believe JJ Pourdeux of Champlins guns. The article was about regulating doubles. IIRC, it's all about powder charge. Rounds crossing need a different...

I have a couple Orion muzzleloader barrels. They are held in high esteem by my mentor. I'll definitely call them. Thanks so much.

I guess relining it wouldn't make it heavier, but being it's a 54 it's larger across the flats than a 50 and is plenty heavy. I talked to Mr Hoyt, but talked myself out of it.

My current barrel is Green Mountain 54 muzzleloader barrel. Someone was gonna turn the Sporting Model into an inline muzzleloader.
I talked to Bobby, he said he can line it to 50, but omg it's...

Thanks for the info on barrels, was hoping to find a preference. Shilen doesn't make a barrel over .458". I'm positive I won't find a drop in barrel. I think my Atlas 12"X 36" will handle most. ...

Does anyone know when Remington went from the roller mounted extractor to the spring mounted one at 9 o'clock?

Btw, there's a sporting model no 1 online for sale, built by Ed Webber of Big Timber. I poached about a dozen pics to help with stock building.

I bet I could. But hindsight being clearer, I'll sell the 500 and source some 50-2 1/2"

His videos are where I got the idea. Wanted a RB for decades. Never thought I'd own a Sporting model.

It took a bit of digging, but I finally learned my Remington is a No. 1 Sporting Model. I'm guessing the Sporting models have more value than most military models?

As to sights, I've purchased the Rough and Ready rear and front sight, with fold down globe and aperture rear, as Custer's rifle had. I really like aperture sights.
