Barrel wedge DIRECTION

[Rudyard]

Left to right ,they don't' wedge' there called 'keys' though they don't turn. The slot is to retain them and most English guns were pinned . Out side of that do what you fancy there your guns .

All of mine go right to left. Personal choice, imbedded in my brain by the Lyman that was my first build.
If I move to Australia I'll have to switch them.

Yes you will
I will have to check to see if I swapped the ones on my Lyman around.

I put them in whichever way they fit the tightest and if they are so loose that I can remove with thumb pressure they get an adjustment. I like them pretty tight fitting.

I have many original DBL'S and SINGLE BARELLES, fowler's and all go in LEFT TO RIGHT. also all of my flint and 7 percussion pistols.

most wool have a pin in the fore arm to keep it from falling out when you take the barrel out to clean it.
