Hi folks. This is my first post here. I found you guys because I enjoy building muzzleloaders and I belong to a couple of "Traditional Muzzleloading" forums but my current project is going to be a semi modern rifle and we're not allowed to speak of such things on those other "purist" sites.
I'll be building a semi-inline rifle based upon the Allen Underhammer action shown below. I want this gun to be able to accept modern projectiles and place them on target and for this I'll need a barrel with a rate of twist in the neighborhood of 1:28" in .50 caliber. However, I can't seem to find a supplier who offers this item. Most barrel manufacturers are producing .50 barrels in 1:70 or slightly faster.
I was hoping one of you fine enthusiasts could point me in the right direction.
Here's the action that I'm using...
Here's an example of a partially completed rifle by Pete Allen, the maker of this action...
Thanks in advance for your help with this matter.
