bore measurements??

Post by Mike Bryant »

I know this has been asked at least 1000 times, but for the 1001st.
What are the land and groove diameters of a FARMINGDALE 50-140 long range express?
What is the rate of twist of the rifling?
Were all the FARMINGDALES shallow groove paper patched barrels?
How much freebore was there?


Thank you gentlemen. I just had to ask. :D

Mines not a Farmer but my bore/groove is .500/.510 and my free bore is .375" as well as over bored at that .514?. They weren't all freebored the same you need to measure that and get it all figured out before wasting any components trying to make it shoot. bobw
