New piece competed

[Commodore Swab]

Just getting the new piece together. 1 caliber Spanish swivel blunderbuss.

That’s Neat!

1 caliber???........ Oh my......................

 

[Shadowalker164]

Just beautiful, have you discharged it yet?
One caliber, is that a 1 inch ball?

 

[Grenadier1758]

Or a roughly 4 gauge ball. Our unit's long range musket (wall gun) has a 1" (1 caliber) bore. It's also a 4 gauge smooth bore.

[Old-Duckman]

Oh my......................

 

[Master Blaster]

Is there an internal barrel lug for the swivel cross pin?

 

[Smokey Plainsman]

Should make a good close range nightstand gun. Loaded with a dozen balls and a healthy charge.

 

[BillinOregon]

Good gosh, man, that thing is stupendous. Where did you get the parts and the gorgeous barrel?

 

[hanshi]

I'll let you shoot it first.

I'd love to have that on my fireplace mantel.
Very nice!

No I haven't discharged it. Yes 1 inch ball (4oz) which if you think back to Pulp Fiction when they are discussing what a 1/4 pounder is called in europe due to the metric system it's a royal with cheese. This is a Royal, no cheese.

Good gosh, man, that thing is stupendous. Where did you get the parts and the gorgeous barrel?

The lock is rough castings from the Rifle Shoppe. The barrel was a prop shaft from an old sunk boat I machined. The stock was a block of walnut from PA I attacked with an angle grinder.

Thats really great!
Dud you buy a kit or where can one get parts for that?

No kit, just reproduced from pictures of originals and built by myself from scratch aside from the mentioned lock.

 

[PathfinderNC]

Incredible! Can you post more photos? This is a gun that isn’t seen very often! Congratulations on an amazing accomplishment

 

[Commodore Swab]

Translation on the muzzle roughly is "fire from an angry king"
