What to do with extra barrels?

[bradmartin]

What would a extra .50 cal barrel be good for as far as a project?

 

[Zonie]

Probably the same thing an extra Siler Flintlock would be good for.

Sorry but you left the door open.

Is it a straight barrel?
How long?
How much work do you feel like doing?
How much money are you willing to put into the new project?
What have you wanted to build but never got around to?

:hmm:

I have a real nice pipe tomahawk that is forged from a gun barrel.

Pistols.

I'd like to have mine bored out to a 54-caliber smoothbore.

I was wanting to do is remove the rifling and make a fowler out of it, but I don't know if that would work.

You can use it for a property corner marker! I've seen a lot of old musket barrels marking property corners especially in Georgia. Betcha ain't ever heard of that before :haha:.

 

[bradmartin]

You've got me there. I have not.

 

[Mr. Chester]

Build another rifle project around it
OR send it to me - :rotf:
