Say , I'll take that Colt

Did it in three stages. From breech to about 14"(Id hafta go measure )is a sharper taper , then for about 10" a more gradual taper to about 1", and then on out to muzzle . Basicaly turned as a modern shotty barrel but thicker. I drew a map full size on butcher paper with dimentions until it...

Old Ford,I looked for Mike Brooks method and found zip ?

Just might ! I cast up around 7 lb. of ball last evening to do some more shooting .

Thanks fellers ! She weighs in at 8-1/2 lbs. When I turned the barrel part round I left it a little beefier with a muzzle wall of .100" . I like a little more muzzle wt. so I have to hold it up instead of hold it down . :grin:

I can vouche for what zonie says about the lye burn ! It will also rot any leather it comes in contact with ! Safety glasses , rubber gloves, boots and an apron preferably rubber but a 30 gallon trash bag will work in a pinch :thumbsup: Places that sell soap making supplies has lye for...
