.54/.58 Hawken and Richland Arms 1858

M14fan · October 30, 2006, 08:05 PM

I have a T/C Hawken in .54 cal. It is accurate and reliable but I also want more power. I am looking for a .58 barrel optimized for Maxi Hunter/Maxi Ball ammo (not round ball). The only drop-in barrels I have found are Green Mountain but they are 1:70 for round ball. Any suggestions?

Second, I have a Richland Arms 1858 replica. I can find no info on the company and want to get spare cylinders. Are there any others that are compatible? Does anyone have info on Richland Arms?

That slow twist also works well with minie balls. They will up the power quite a bit over a round ball.
