Something....interesting...

A mate shared this amalgamation via Facebook messenger. Apparently the owner made it simply because everyone told him it couldn't be done ( I applaud that sentiment ). There is a video of him firing it but as yet I haven't managed to find out any details other than its a standard .311 barrel.

That is amazing. Well done him. Has to be a first tactical flintlock no?
Thanks for sharing

Forgive my ignorance, but what am I looking at? I don’t think I recognize the original firearm. An old Enfield?

An SMLE.

 

[Shadowalker164]

That is truly “End of the World” awesome…I am speechless, which makes it even more amazing.

That’s Ugly as Sin…. Use the Lock for a project

While looking up the SMLE, found this…
The current world record for aimed bolt-action fire was set in 1914 by a musketry instructor in the British Army—Sergeant Instructor Snoxall—who placed 38 rounds into a 12-inch-wide (300 mm) target at 300 yards (270 m) in one minute.[16

I like it! Weird, but I like it!! oh, no thats okay, you can keep it though.......

Although I recognize the skill, I do think it is a shame to cut up an early SMLE.

Yeah I would have to agree…but it’s so apocalyptic, it’s OMG….somebody find the link of it being shot and post it.

I'll see if I can share the video.

 

[Shadowalker164]

I could see it in a Mad Max movie
Scary cool!

Yes, that flashed through my mind as well

 

[Bigpete]

Well,I tried to save the video but I can't,then I tried to screenshot the actual moment of firing it and can't quite get it spot on.....yet.

I think its pretty cool. Its likely made of spare parts,so its not ruining an original. Its seemingly well made,and I definitely admire the attitude to defy the status quo by building it and proving the naysayers wrong. No way I'd bother myself though.

Here's a better screen shot
