Building a Carolina Gun/ Type G

[Rob M.]

Just getting started on this Carolina Gun for a fellow in Wyoming ...

 

[Rob M.]

Getting the 20 ga. 46" barrel bedded ....

 

[Rob M.]

Got her down to .035 more to go down at the breech , called it a night . Hopefully get the barrel to bed depth tomorrow then start the breech plug inlet and ramrod channel and hole ....

Funny
...when you get down to the last 1/8" at the breech you know the longest most drawn out part of the barrel bedding , the longest part of the build , had just begun ..Down to the last ...I think it was .035 when I stopped ....maybe another hour tomorrow then hopefully done with the barrel bed ...

I still had it going on at that age. Enjoy it while you can.

Yes, because in a blink of an eye 52 is in the rearview and you are just amazed at yourself for thinking you had aches and pains at that age.
