Does anyone know if Numrich made .58 cal musket barrels with eight lands and grooves?

As far as I know that is the only rifling they offered- They made .45 cal barrels and 58 cal, for the Zouave and the 1863 Springfields

I have a .58 Whitney Militia rifle with an 8 groove Numrich barrel.

I have a Numrich barrel and it has 8 lands and grooves and a patented breech. That barrel was a shooter for sure!

of those Numrich 1863 barrels sitting in my closet too. It has a patent breach . It came with an 1866 .50-70 rifle. I replaced the .50-70 barrel assembly and the Numrich is sort of sitting there since.
