Going into farce for a moment.a 50 caliber barrel this thin perhaps should be marketed as a floor lamp and when the lock is cocked the light comes on or is turned off.

I'm was gonna scrap the ones I have, but it just hit me I could make tomato stakes out of mine, put a lil light
bulb on the top so when the tomato is ripe it will lite up. You think it would be safe for a 6 watt bulb ?

Sleeving will be a lot less than a new barrel.  Bobby has sleeved several for me.

My hunting gun for years was a 13/16 50 cal made by Getz.  A guy at the range had to have it so...................................

Anyways.....  My hunting load was 120gr 3F and 2 .490 patched roundballs, one on top of another.  They hit side by side at 50 yards and I NEVER had a Whitetail run, just collapse...

It had a white lightening touch hole liner in it.

Never had issue.

Was my favorite hunting/killing machine

Just my .02
