KentuckyMountainManWhat about a .69 or .75 Muzzleloader?
Anyone know where I can get my hands on a .69 or .75 modern Muzzleloader? I know that for anything above a .58 you need a slow twist barrel, but are they available? I have searched high and low, but without any luck. Could someone point me in the right direction for a custom shop that might be able to help?

He maked German Jaegers and English style percussion or flintlock rifles. Be warned that he might consider a .69 or .75 to be a small bore relative to his medium bore 8s and big bore 4s.

KentuckyMountainManOK thanks for the reply. I will get on it, and see what he says. I will post my findings when he replies.
The Pacific Rifle Company used to make some fine looking large bore underhammer rifles but I am unable to Google them just now. The T/C Encore can be had with a 209x12 gauge barrel, but with a smoothbore. Makes a fellow wonder if their rifled 12 gauge cartridge barrel could be fitted with the BP breech plug. Good hunting!

Try this site if you want an underhammer.

billhilly66I've got a Kodiak .72 double rifle that I'd sell or trade.

LaDoumaBillhilly,
What are you looking for?

billhilly66I'm looking for a 9.3x62 or a .375 H&H or maybe something that can be re-barreled to .375 H&H
