    David Price Swivel breech rifle kit build-Updates

    I’ve known about swivel breech rifles for ages, but I really got interested in them after reading Raymond Chandler’s great F&I War novel, “The Black Rifle”, where a swivel breech rifle features prominently. I followed that up with another Chandler book, which was a fictionalized biography of...

    David Price Swivel breech rifle kit build-Updates

    The swivel Breech rifle I built from David Price’s kit is essentially finished. I still have some polishing and tweaking to do, but it is good enough to take it to the Fort Frederick 18th Century Market Fair next week to show my friends. I want to thank David for all the work he does getting...

    That's why I put some stain on the area before I glued it, and I colored the epoxy...so...hopefully, we'll be OK

    David Price Swivel breech rifle kit build-Updates

    I have been giving this some thought over a cup of coffee, now that I have a little more distance from the event. If this doesn't work, and, maybe, even if it does, I'm thinking I will file and polish the entry thimble and epoxy it into place. That will give support and rigidity to the area...

    David Price Swivel breech rifle kit build-Updates

    This day just went south fast. The forestock panel on the swivel breech rifle caught a fold in my sleeve, and just snapped in half. The wood is so thin at the entry thimble, it broke in an instant when I moved my arm. I am in total heroic rescue mode now. I'm trying to bond it with a layer...

    David Price Swivel breech rifle kit build-Updates

    In this update I’m continuing to work on the right side fore stock panel of the swivel breech rifle from David Price. In this update I’ll cut in the lock molding and shape and rough sand the panel. In this update you’ll get a look at a simple fixture I made to deal with those delicate side...

    Loading from the bag

    The rod on this fusil has a built in jag at the end. I have taken your advice on distressing the bags, which makes them easier to load, but the jag still catches them. sometimes I just reverse the rod to start the paper, then reverse it to ram it home.

    Loading from the bag

    Spence, I think that this video will show you what you're interested in, using a turkey head target at 40 yards and 30 yards. Since making this I've found that 0ne ounce of shot and 110 grains of 2Fg is an effective load out to 25 yards. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxTXFxGyTp4

    Thanks Spence. You've been a big help to me as try to learn the intricacies of smoothbore shooting.

    Loading from the bag

    I just finished writing an article for “Muzzleloader” magazine on setting up a hunting bag for smoothbore shooting. It will probably run in the magazine next year. I also put together a video on loading smoothbores from the bag. I welcome your thoughts on the subject...
