    Colt revolving rifle ( repro )

    The first time I saw a revolving rifle, I thought the same thing. I'd rather shoot a modern bullpup instead of one of those things. Clutch

    Nipple Pick

    I took the work in progress underhammer out today to shoot it even if it isn't done. I wanted to check out the heights of the sights to see if they were close. Well it was near enough to my aiming spot at 25 that I backed the target to out to 50. I get 3 shots off and then a pooft. First...

    Loading .62 cal Colerain barrel needed

    I bought some .610's and it looks like the mould blocks had alignment problems. Bullet ran .613 to .617+ Couldn't drop it in barrel w/o a patch. Used some snap gages and mic's, barrel is .614+. So I wonder what sized patch material would work with a .600 . Is your barrel a Colerain? Clutch

    Underhammer Pistols

    I am reading "Underhammer Guns" by Herchel C. Logan that my local library borrowed for me from a library in another State. There are a lot of underhammer pistols in this book. I'm thinking that I'd like to build one. Most likely a smoothbore since we run 12L14 at my shop and the bar end...

    Dumbest thing I ever did.

    Number 13

    I read somewhere, maybe even on this board, that under the 'seasoning' of a barrel can be a layer of rust forming. It is possible that No13 got under the seasoning and revealed a layer of rust? Clutch

    Proofing a barrel

    That was what uncle was thinking. I was a bit alarmed and he said he was willing to do a single ball with a double load and buy me a new barrel if it blew. The barrel in question is a Colerain .62 tapered. As far as cannon fuse, I don't have any. I have some saltpeter for a project that...

    Greetings from Germany

    Welcome to the group. I lived on a US Army base near, pardon my phonetic spelling, "perlocker forrst". That was back in 1961-1963 and I was a small boy at the time. I have no idea where that was at in Germany. I can remember we were in Building 307-B4 and the day that John F. Kennedy was...

    Barrel Length vs velocity

    I was readin the "Gunsmith of Grenville County" and he seems to be sayin' that barrel length over 24-26" is overkill. I'm thinkin that is smokeless thought. Can anyone point me to a thread where someone plotted barrel length vs velocity? Thanks, Clutch

    poor mans zep

    Where did you order your balls at? I got a .62 my uncle is building for me that is rapidly nearing a test fire. I ordered some .610 balls to start with but it sure seems everyone that crosses the .60 line gets rather pround of their product and asks a proud price Clutch

    Installing barrel staples question

    Thats a purty rifle. I'm about to start a topic on barrel length vs velocity. I was reading the "Gunsmith of Grenville County" and he seemed to think 24-26" was what gave best velocity for a barrel length. That sounds right for smokeless but I wonder about real black powder. Hear is a...
