A Richland Arms 1858 Remi almost fell into my lap. At the recent Black Powder match someone shows up with some black powder guns to sell. Nearly all were CVA rifles.I did buy one of them a CVA Squirrel Rifle in 36 cal. Un completed kit. Unfired with rust issues.On the outside only though. The other gun I bought is the brasser 1858 Remi. Also a kit gun with light rust inside the barrel. Worn off cold blue on the barrel and the cylinder is in the white . Almost unfired .The barrel/cylinder gap is .016. Usable but I would like it like down to .002 or .004. .Is the only way to do this is to remove the barrel? Cut enough off of the shoulder to allow a full turn so the gap is more than gone? I suppose the end of the barrel would need to be shortened up to fit the cylinder. Any ideas?
