"Junk Gun"

[Roy]

Well here it is. It has been cleaned up more since this pic, but my battery needs to be charged before I can get more pics.

Why do I call it a junk gun? Because I made it from a whole bunch of crap from under my bench. The barrel is turned from a scrap piece of barrel I had laying around, the housing is anothe piece of barrel and the rest I made from chunks of steel and the springs were made from spring stock.

Roy...That's brilliant!
Would you call that a box lock, or screw barrel pistol? If you make another down the road you can do it with a disappearing trigger

Keep up the good work!

Very nice Roy! :thumbsup:

[Roy]

well its not very boxy(same concept),but it is a screw barrel. I sort of copied it from an original, well I had a pic and that was about it. This one ofcourse is a lot less fancy. :grin:

Did you put a hole in the frizzen to aim through? :grin:

Gregg

 

[Roy]

Damn fine gunsmithin', Roy! Bookie

Thanks,
:hmm: now if I hammer forged..... :rotf:

Good work yourself!

 

[coehornboy]

Excellent work!! :v

 

[Roy]

Thanks,
I would like for one day to get my hands on a milling machine I think I really reduce the time and effort I put into these things. As of now I use an old rattley lathe and a drill press for most of my work. Except for the heating and beating, sawing, grinding and filing. Did I happen to mention the filing? :youcrazy: :rotf:

I like it! I think it's a nice rendition of a turn barrel coat pistol.

 

[Erzulis boat]

Super nice!
Once again, cool things come out of your shop.

:hatsoff:

 

[Roy]

Thanks, heres a pic of it disassembled.

 

[***Sean***]

Thats pretty handy work

 

[Zonie]

Great little pistol! :grin:
I hope it shoots as good as it looks.

 

[Roy]

Well since its not an aiming gun It shoots just fine :grin: . It uses around 20 grains of powder and a .451 ball. Thanks for all of the kind words. :thumbsup:

Final pic of the finished piece, polished up barrel lug added and some chicken scratchen on the side.

Now I have to apologize, for posting pics of a traditional non-muzzleloading inline. :haha: :blah:

Makes me wonder about cap and ball revolvers :hmm:

Thanks once again for your compliments. :hatsoff:
