Please help identify this muzzle loader

nathan.davis · Aug 22, 2014

I just received a new muzzle loader of unknown origin and manufacture. Can anyone help me find out what the markings on photos of the barrel mean? I'm guessing that the 1-66 means 1 twist in 66 inches, and the 62 means 62 caliber, but that's only a wild guess. Note the large R with the 62 resting on the R. Does the R indicate the manufacturer? Thanks for your help.

I would agree that its probably a 1-66 twist .62 caliber. The R might be a maker's mark. Its hard to say. Is this a custom barrel?

I assume that it is a custom barrel but I also wonder if it is made overseas. The only thing I know are the markings shown in the photos.

just guessing, but Rayl barrels 1-60 right twist, P=Proofed? MS...is it medium swamped?

Rice barrel company confirmed today that the barrel is one of their productions.

Those look like nice barrels

CNC cut rifling instead of button and stress relieved according to the description.
