Problem mostly resolved. Got an incredible offer from a friend of a friend and so I sold the 2 CVAs and now have two TCs - a 50 caliber White Mountain Carbine and a New Englander that was relined in 45 by Bob Hoyt
Both rifles are essentially new. Do need to pick up ramrods for them (have a big heavy solid brass one for range use) and projectiles. Might try the WMC with a 490 ball but also considering going a tad modern with a sabot and either 451 or 429 caliber pistol bullets
The 45 is fast twist 1-20, very fast for a ML) and the bore is more likely to be 447 or 448 than 450 so Im planni g on checking how well sabots fit there or just use full bore hunks of lead and set up a bullet sizing die
