Where to go for a rifled 4 bore wall gun barrel?

[cjsoccer3]

Hi everyone,

I’d like to build a wall gun. Something like the Rifle Shoppe’s British wall gun - only difference being a rifled barrel.

Do folks have any suggestions of where to go to procure a barrel? Apologies if this is a newbie question, but maybe Rice does custom barrels.

Thank You

I have fired 3 shots out of a 4 bore used by an African Elephant hunter. It is a flintlock smooth bore , I suspect that was the start of the problems which lead to having a total shoulder replacement .

I got a couple 4 bore barrels from Oregon Barrel. Expect about a 9 month wait. Not sure of they do barrels long enough for a wall gun.

Sorry, the barrel is not rifled but I'm sure Bobby Hoyt in PA could rifle it for you

I went to the Rife Shoppe last year. Great people. Got to handle the wall gun. I'm 5'10, 310#. The gun is a beast!

Why would someone want such a huge gun just to shoot walls?

Have you tried to knock down a wall??? it takes a lot of powder to get one to ground! lol

Yep, that's a big ass gun!

Will that even fit in a Suburban? How much does it weigh?

Ed Rayl of West Virginia may be able to make one.

There was was a wall gun at the Kempton fair last weekend. Guy watching the pieces said it was probably a 4 bore, about the size of a golf ball.

It fires a 4oz ball , costs more in lead than it does in powder and the physiotherapy bills also cripple

Here in UK where they were a lot more-used than in the USA [your lack of castles and defended manor houses might have something to do with that], wall guns were not 'freely mounted'. They either had a mounting bracket, like an oar-lock, on the wall parapet, or a spike that went into a pre-drilled hole.

In that way, the crushing recoil of shooting a 4 ounce ball over 500gr of Fg would be somewhat reduced...

Some even had a flat-bottomed giant sling swivel that simply rested on the wall top - still VERY painful to shoot, though.

That lock looks especially oversized as well.
