Looking for information
I recently acquired a .54 cal TC Hawken muzzle loader (third hand I think) and I've looked at the rifling depth and I'm wondering if the barrels rifling is purposely very shallow. If I didn't look closely, I would have thought that this barrel is a smooth bore. Checking the internet ie You tube, I can't seem to find any data on the rifling. Can these barrels be shot out? There is no visible pitting or rust down the pipe. Other than being very filthy when I took possession, there seems to be nothing wrong except that the rifling is so shallow.
Any info from the black powder masters here would be greatly appreciated.
