to answer inquiries about W M (Bill) Large muizzle loading rifle barrels- I own one of these- I went to Bill Large's shop in Coal Grove OH in 1973 , met Bill and we talked about a Pennsylvania long rifle I was building and decided on a 43-inch long, .450 CAl cut rifled barrel with one turn in 57"" to shoot a 140 Gr round ball. I have had the rifle many years and have killed several deer with it. I had it made with convertible ignition- flintlock and percussion cap. This was done in 1973. Bill made some of the finest and most accurate rifle barrels for muzzloaders ever built- for years they won the National Muzzle-Loading Rifle championship matches held in Friendship IN. If anyone wants any more info- E-mail me . One more thing, to my knowledge Bill never made any completed rifles for sale- If he ever did, they were for his own use or friends. Bill was a retired industrial arts teacher at a local high school.
