    Colonial Boy, I hope that thumb is feeling better, I have a book called Underhammer Guns written by Herschel Logan written in 1960, in it there is a "inletted" style underhammer made by H. Woody that is alot like your creation. The action in this book has what looks like a set trigger on it...

    homemade barrel breech plug

    Zonie, I Wonder what would happen if I put the nipple/touch hole arrangement just in front of the plug coming into the "bottom" of the barrel. This way I would not have to go thru the plug, but only the barrel. Going thru the bottom will give me the opportunity to still hide the "lock" in a...

    homemade barrel breech plug

    Thanks for your replies! Zoni mentioned using some type of thread locker or teflon tape on the threads. There are two types of loctite the kind you need a torch to get off and the lesser. The torch type sounds good but I think a torch would discolor my metal finish if I ever needed to remove...

    homemade barrel breech plug

    Zonie, Thanks for your reply! I should have been more clear, the barrel I have is a blank. It is not threaded or anything, it is chopped off and the inside is rifling. I was thinking of drilling it out to maybe 3/4" diameter and tapping it around 1/2" deep and plugging it so the back of the...

    homemade barrel breech plug

    I have a "beater" 17" .50cal octagon barrel that I need to plug. I am thinking of making a 14" pistol out of it but the stock design I am planning I need the back of the barrel to be flush. Is it safe to drill and tap the back and modify and slot a grade 8 bolt to screw into the back for a...

    Hello, I have an old delta bandsaw and I was wondering if I could saw 1/4" to 1/2" and smaller steel if I put a metal cutting blade on it? :hmm: I would appreciate if someone would reccomend a TPI for this application. I have a lock project that I have templates for and I will have to saw...

    where can I purchase tubing for a smooth bore?

    Thanks everyone for the replies! :thanks: I have been w/o a computer for almost a month. I am wanting to build something to shoot. I am not worried about time periods or anything like that.
