[PitchyPine]

The bands give it a very martial look-

:thumbsup:

 

[PitchyPine]

Thanks.
What do ya call this thing, match holder ??

 

[mckutzy]

cool... did u turn the taper freehand or with an attachment on ur lathe?
looks great, what caliber?

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :hatsoff:

 

[PitchyPine]

Thanks, I turned it by hand on the lathe using the cross feed set at a slight angle.

By the way, the match holder is called a linstock. :thumbsup:

What is the recipe for a powder channel?

Are you just going straight bore back, or running a smaller diameter powder "bore"?

Any kind of constant if you run a powder chamber, like 1/2 bore diameter by X and X etc.?

I have a big lathe and a ton of steel, and you have me motivated now!

I have been making ML Barrels for a few years now, but have yet to turn a Gonne.

Looking good Lenn!! How did you make the bore smooth? Seems I can never drill or bore without having roughness. Emery

 

[PitchyPine]

Linstock, hmmmm weird word. :hmm:

Erzulis boat, I just drill the boar 1/2 inch right to the bottom and leave at least a inch behind it for strength. Smooth bore of course.
I put a taper in the end of the bore for easier ball starting.

Been just drilling, for some reason this new ten inch bit leaves a pretty smooth bore. I wish i had a 1/2 inch ream, will get one if i make many more.
Thanks buddy.

Looks good Lenn! I see what you mean now from our conversation last nite! Seems like if you had too, you could lap the bore to smooth it out, if you do not have a reamer, I dunno I'm no machinist! :hmm: :grin: Get busy and fire that thing up!

Ok so give us some diminsions .. calber, length, rearhole size, etc.

Would be neat to see you fire it in all that white snow up there! :shocked2:

Thanks Davy, have to get a handle Friday first before firing it.
Bore is pretty smooth and is 50 cal. and five inch. deep.
Vent is 3/32 and pan 3/8ths
Hole for handle is one inch and overall length is nine inches.
Will post some fire ASAP.

Welcome to the wild and wolly world of the Handgonne! Over here, we are all gonners! (pun intended)

I'm working on it. My father is a part time gunsmith and has all kinds of stuff and tomorrow I'm cashing in :rotf: I'm hoping to have it completed in a few weeks. Got my tiller and barrel, just gotta do some work before I mount it.

Gosh Pitchy ... a "real HE man" would just use his hand! :hmm: :shocked2: :bull: :rotf:

[PitchyPine]

A real man would use something else. :blah: :rotf:

Got a handle on it and some pics of a diamond willow i`ve been working on.

You are exceptional.
I do like seeing the things that you can make.
You are inspiring and motivating to me.

I may need to try to make one yet.


Have a Merry Christmas
