Good looking barrel!

What steel did you turn it out of, and what is the bore size?

Mule Brain the bore is 5/8 and i ain't got a clue what alloy steel it is,the guy furnished the material for the other barrel's and this was a piece that was left over.

Looks stout enough to me! I would assume, that you will be cutting down those trunnions some to fit to a carriage?

I really need some small scale carriage plans!

I just got two barrels from my brother, and will post a thread on them!
