Isn't a reline going to cost as much as two barrels, the barrel to be reworked and the liner plus labor for the rework?

Tim

I say get an antique 38 S&W. If you are shooting black powder you can pick any number if different makes and models, don't limit yourself to top breaks and maybe go with a single action or even spur...

I have a barrel, it is 50 cal. I want to keep it and just have a smaller bore barrel to swap when I am wanting to shoot a smaller ball.

I am wanting a drop in replacement barrel for my CVA flint lock with a hooked breach.

either .32 or .36 cal. pitched for conicals prefered but round ball is ok too.

Any leads welcome, I will...

Maybe someone on here know for sure but the left was sold to me as an Isotope core and the one on the right is some sort of hold down weight I think.

The Kitco 24-hour lead quote at the top of the page is a clue. Lead seems to be a buck a pound and that is what my scrap yard charges. They have wheel weights but just dumped in the bin with...

Metal, almost of any sort is going up in price.

I just got the thing on the right, I think it is about 10 pounds and pretty soft. The thing on the right I have had a while, it is closer to 20 pounds and harder.

He drove up not walked up, it is an easement of a sort. He was in a company truck, really, I was probably trespassing. I was wary but not for reasons like you are suggesting. I was glad he was...

Freebore is created when the rifle is chambered (not a feature of a cartridge) and on a 45-70 is usually quite short. What I think you are talking about is what is most often called, "jump to lands"...

Kapok is not dacryon/polyester. Kapok is a plant-based fiber, polyester is synthetic. I expect they are interchangeable in this application, but I can't be sure. Kapok has many differences with...

I could see where puck density testing would be valuable. There is probably a point where more ram pressure does not increase density so no point in stressing things with higher ram loads. If the...

Good to know.

Yep. That was figured out over a century ago, almost 2 centuries ago. Not just hunting but fighting. No point in pushing a round ball over 1800 fps except to say you did it. Not necessarily a bigger...

Seems like a good option, if not keeping it stock. Rebore or reline to .32 S&W long would make a nice rifle and ammo/components will pretty easy to come by for many years to come.

CVA Flintlock range report.

It went bang every time. Stranger happened by this kind of hidden location, he was interested, had shot before, does not own a gun but is thinking about getting one. I...

Thanks, it sounds like either will work. I have much of both lead sheet and sheet leather. I am going to leave it as is with the lead because I have the impression that this gun was working will as...

I have not had to size the new brass I have purchased, one cartridge I shoot, 6mm PPC, I did turn the necks and neck size. I have had to straighten some case mouths but I did not size them. I don't...

Ok, it showed up at my door at 9 pm tonight. A used CVA 50 cal flintlock rifle. Maybe have pictures and a range report tomorrow.
It makes sparks. The flint is pinched with lead, was thinking it was...

I feel that you must intended to deceive to be lying. Unintentionally spreading misinformation is not lying but it is bad form. If you know what you are saying is false that is lying. If you are...

You can buy a whole new 22 rf revolver for less than that or many other complete guns used. I guess the issue is not many of these locks are made so if you want one you have to pay thru the nose.

You mean, just the lock, no stock or barrel? That is just crazy.

Thanks for that link
