SOLD .62 Jaeger

[Zonie]

If it is a Rice .62 caliber barrel, it will shoot best with a .61 caliber patched ball.
These are available from Track of the Wolf for about $10 for 25 of them.

That't a 340 grain ball.

If I wasn’t currently building a 62 caliber Jaeger this would be an easy buy for me. About a $1000 in unfinished raw parts..... Someone is going to get a deal.

Sorry guys, someone is spouting alot of misinformation about this Jaeger that I built.
The Jaeger is a .62 caliber with a Rice barrel.
It shoots (very well) with a .600 or .595 roundball with a .015 or .020 patch pushed by 60 grains of fffg
The touchhole is a Chambers white lightning liner that has been opened up a little more with a #49 drill bit.
The stock is Black Walnut, the lock is a Chambers Jaeger lock

It does not have a patent breech. It does have a gold touch hole insert which is about 1/4" in diameter with about a 1/16" touch hole - much smaller overall than the larger ones used by British gunmakers.

Please see my post.

Would you be interested in trading for a pair of LeMat revolvers?

 

[WKD]

Where do you put the flint in revolvers?
