Amazing, you seemingly did that in the amount of time it took me to run to the store for a bag of ice and make a Greek salad for diner.
Okay I'll admit there's quite a bit of chopping involved in the salad but, man, you are moving right along.
Fine work indeed sir.

I could use some education myself. This thread has carried my desire to own a smoothbore up to an obsession to own one to hunt with.

Hey Rob, if your busy schedule allows could you give me the barrel length on this lil' beauty?

This looks like an option, I ain't afraid of no hack saw!

Rob I sure do like that blanket gun you made...Awesome

 

[Shiloh]

I wish I lived close enough to have Rob look over my shoulder while I build a trade gun.

 

[Rob M.]

Oh boy ! That bore scares me ! The barrel length of this build is 48" . I build a good many short ones too though . The HBCo made their barrel lengths ... 30" , 36" , 42" and 48 " . I make a bunch of 26" barrel length NW guns but thats just because thats the length of the antique barrels blanks I buy . Best of luck !
