I have an old Zouave rifle that I am fixing for a guy, I think I'm going to buy it from him, that somebody chopped down to 16.5" an made it about 60 cal smooth bore. Its bore has some heavy pitting, around .010 - .020, near breech end, enough I think it could cause a bore obstruction with a round ball.
Does anybody have an idea of how to bore it out bigger without buying an expensive reamer?
Would it be okay to shoot shot out of? The other option I was thinking of was to turn it into a pseudo blunderbuss, I have the technology.
Either way, it is getting the brass tack treatment on the sock, and rawhide wrap around the forend.
