Raimey, I noticed on the percussion barrel picture on gunbroker.com that OWD linked, there was a lip at the lower end of the muzzles that seemed to serve to hold the ramrod from slipping out. Is that unique to percussion barrels only. because there is such a reinforcement, not quite so pronounced on mine. It could also just be there to reinforce and bind the underside rib. I have an 1881 Parker underlever that does not have this reinforcment.
