Hi Fernando:

Two words about the caliber. The caliber of the English arms is 17 pound (19.2 mm.) Try increasing due to corrosion. It is known that the muzzleloader suffered an increase in the mouth, particularly or hasty action.

Affectionately. Fernando K

I am ware of that, Fernando.
... But i was under the influence that carbine calibers were smaller... at least some (cavalry) models
I may be wrong, though
Also this barrel shouldn't have been a musket one.

She's got a ramrod now
The rod is an old genuine one; the other parts were made now.
The smith has applied some rusting product on the new parts and adviced me to no to oil them for a while, to enable the product to work.
