I would determine its rate of twist, or even simply test fire it, before making plans to re-chamber or re-line. Is a LR bullet fully engraved by the rifling upon examination after extracting it unfired from the chamber?

I had a Low Wall Winder Musket originally in .22 short that in their infinite wisdom R.F.Sedgley altered to .22WCF, retaining the original sloooow twist bore. Talk about a gun that was doomed not to shoot.

Happy birthday, Harry!
