Rice TC Renegade drop in barrels

[10gaugemag]

Anybody shooting one of the drop in 1" barrels?

Have been wanting a GM LRH and these seem a viable option. Cannot decide .45 or .50 if I even do it.

.50 makes the most sense.

For those who have them are you satisfied w accuracy?

How did you finish yours out?

Pics?

The only person I'm aware of was a former member here Idaholewis his was in a 45 with a 1-20 twist and he loved it. It was the most accurate bbl he had, but they are not cheap.

Ive got the GM .45 LRH on my Renegade and it is all I could hope for and want in a sidelock. Im not a long distance shooter like IdahoLewis. 150-200 is probably the most I’ll try to shoot with it with a 340gr lead bullet. From one of Lewis’s molds actually. I would still like to have the Rice barrel anyway. It cant cost much more than some are asking for the LRH barrels.

The Muzzleloading Emporium in Oregon advertise a custom drop in barrel for TC and Lyman rifles (in the white). You chose the options, twist, length, etc. 15/16 " and 1 " sizes. Never used them so I can't speak on quality but I have read good reviews. I'm considering a 58 cal for my Hawken stock, RB twist. Might have to call them and see how fast of a twist they can do? Just another option.

I have a Rice .45 fast twist in a White Mountain carbine stock. It’s obviously a 15/16ths inch barrel, shoots very well. I have no complaints.

A little cheaper but by the time you buy sights it is probably a wash. I guess it depends if you want a more traditional sight on the Muzzleloading Emporium barrel or the Williams sights offered with the Rice.

Rice drop in fast twist barrels are cut rifled and 4140 iirc. Thats a very nice barrel for the price.
