If he doesn't answer leave him a message.  He will call you back.

Only being 3/4” at the muzzle, and already being .45 caliber, and an antique barrel, might mean you are already at the maximum caliber. Might have to have it either just cleaned up, and left smooth, or have a liner made for a smaller caliber.
