I had Barbie send me a .50 cal barrel with my Chambers/Mark Silver Virginia rifle kit.  Yes, it's heavier than a .58 or a .62 cal., but I like it very much and shoot it well.  It weighs 10 pounds even- unloaded, but with one of Rich's great flints.  I call her - "Voluptuous Virginia" .  "V V" for short.

That might be the way to go then, thanks

Coryjoe,

If you don't punch paper with hunting loads, this thing is a pleasure to shoot all day long.  I don't know the actual weight, but it is sufficient, and with the straight comb, you hardly notice recoil at all.

It also works out really nice with the ball size for my smoothies.  I shoot a .595 ball and .020 patch.  The same combination works really well in my 20ga smoothbores, with out using a hammer to seat the ball.

Sounds great, thanks.
