Made a cute little square like Bill Raby uses. 2.1/2" x 3.1/2"s

Question, Is a “British Officers Fusil” basically a short barreled rifled fowler?

Nearly blended in. Top front of the drum needs some blending. The tang extends over the lock, it will be tapered and cleared for the hammer. Also need to bend the tang to match the stock

The 345 is now a 415 grain, didn't like the 345. The key to getting them to shoot is finding the right diameter. They need a snug fit all the way down, with some good lube. I like a bit harder lead, maybe 40 to 1. Killed a squirrel at 75 yards with the 450 using a 1-28 twist. The 415 works well...

Got the nipple hole in today and it will work with a musket cap.

If it doesn't have a half cock, the ram rod would work as one.

I fit the plug to the tang today, nice lock up. Now to work on the tang.

You need to call, cause they seem to be out of stock everywhere. Great folks to deal with!!

I made a solid drum for my Short Virginia rifle. I need to finish the hooked breech. I just am not fond of screw-in drums. It is cross drilled and coned, ready for the nipple thread.

Info that I have saved for my 62 Colerain bbl. .62 Colerain Loads: I just figured out the load it likes, 75gr. of swiss ff and a .018 pillow ticking patch with olive oil. and a 600 ball. i shot a one hole group at 50 yards off the bench. Mike Garner I shot a .604 ball from a sc Lyman mould...

dd832, Thank You for taking the time to show us the lock!

What is your bore size and how deep are the grooves?

1985 ta 87 ish

If you are horseback hunting, shorter rifles are nice. The bigger the bore, the lighter the rifle. I like big bores, you can load them up or down.

I like the round tapered and flared barrel with no full under rib.

One quiet calm mourning, I touched of my 12 bore rifle! It sounded like rolling thunder thru the woods, hence the name "Ole Thunder" came to be. None of my other guns have names.

Guns will name them selves, if they want one. Just be patient!

I believe that he cnc machines the profile and barrel lugs on the barrel blanks.

When I was a youngster, if you had a 12 ga smooth bore that would put 5 shots into a 7" group at 100 yds, you had a true deer killer. We hunted thick cover and never shot over 75 yds. The same applies to elk, my advice is to think like a bow hunter. Now my rifled 12 bore will shoot 3 shots...
