Information on the Culloden Blunderbuss

[Notchy Bob]

Ben is retired, I would contact Ed Rayl, he has a few blunderbuss patterns.

Thank you for that information. I was thinking Ed Rayl had retired, too, or at least stopped taking orders. It’s good to know he is still making barrels.

In browsing around, I found that Military Heritage has a brass-barreled 18th century blunderbuss. We don’t need to get into the “India-made guns” bashing… I’m just pointing out something I found. The write-up about this gun on the Military Heritage website references the Culloden blunderbuss, although their gun is not a copy of it. They also state the brass barrel on their blunderbuss is turned from solid bar stock, although I noted it appeared to be octagon-to-round.

For what it’s worth…

A blunderbuss barrel is going to be lots o’ $$$$, so plan for some sticker shock!

Especially a brass barreled one. Brass is crazy expensive in smaller diameters that I use right now. I hate to think what 2" or bigger would cost

Here I am kicking myself for shying off buying an original Brass barreled Blunderbuss for around AUST$500 back in the late 90's.
