Title: Re: My family's percussion rifle

As well you should be confused. I read what I wanted to read. I did not see rifle in ".62 caliber rifle". I don't see .62 and rifle put together as much as I see .62 and fowler. Now looking at the muzzle end of the rifle I also see the rifling. I suffer from an affliction that drives my wife nuts. When I go to the refrigerator to find something I always look past what I'm looking for and try to look behind it. Not sure what this affliction is called, but it is real. [smiley=embarassed.gif]

The rounded barrel tapering out to a thin wall really threw me. That is how my smoothbore fowler is configured, also (without the rifling). Guess I was looking at the pictures more than reading.
