Well T , given that serial range ,I bet you do indeed have a paper patch throated rifle....And its darned heartening to hear that grease grooved bullets can be made to work in them if someone is willing to do a bit of experimenting.
I am glad it all came together for you in such a fine fashion.
Thanks for your detailed replies and info. I will file it away in my data bank with the rest of my mental notes on " All things Sharps".
