I was wondering if there was anyone out there capable of installing a new .69 cal liner in an original Plymouth Naval rifle.
Thanks
Bill

Cannonman1 - Since you are restoring an original rifle, I would be sure to ask Hoyt if he can install the new liner without disturbing the original bayonet lug mount.
After cleaning, rifling is not all that bad. Bore is better then pic shows .. some pits but not bad. What do you think?
I'd shoot it and see how it groups.
I would keep the original bore!
I am going to try Lyman's big minie with a 65 grain ffg powder charge. Will see if my shoulder holds up.. These rifles are unique in that they are the only rifle produced originally in .69 cal (as a rifle).. and they have a substantial wall thickness. Makes for a stout weapon when shouldered. Makes my .58 Cal Springfield feel like a featherweight. LOL.
Thanks for your input.
