Nice job, well done!! Any idea afterwards what kind of steel you did use for it? Bet, that part is made of better steel than the entire rifle!

I only owned one Hornet in my life and it was the most difficult cartridge for me to reload to precision. I also tried a lot of different bullets, best results gave the 40 gn V-max and I could...

So you will have to bring your lunch in a plastic bag with you then? Everything can be used as a weapon, a good steel lunch box, a spanner, a ball-pen, a tie, you name it and is usable as a weapon...

Nice looking knife! I do not know what kind of cutting you have to do, but for me there is not much that beats the humble but oh so super functional Opinel knives with a carbon blade and a Viroblock...

I would love to own one! The only Husqvarna I own is an early deluxe Lefaucheux version with nice engraving and damascus barrels with wedge fastening. This gun however is not shootable anymore...

That is a marvelous gun you have there! Strange configuration for a cape gun, thought, that the rifled barrel normally is at the right side and is operated by the front trigger, which is mostly a...

Cannot you find a stock of a sniper rifle with its higher comb?

Yes, that OAL is defined by its Henry-style lifter, the lead is so very long and the bullet is so very gently pushed into the rifling that one could say that within reason every rifle has its own...

What do you mean with 2f BP and what BP do you use?

I have made a Cerrosafe casting of the chamber-troath of my Vetterli Stutzer; those rifles have a very long leade and one can play with the length of that round very easily, overcoming the problem of...

For me it is not necessary to make more pictures; the metal of the rifled barrel is just worn away were one could find some more about the caliber. I was hoping to find the powder load for the rifled...

Unfortunately I do not find anything about the rifle caliber of your drilling.
What I do find is;
Crown + N ; 2,2 grams of Nitro powder and max load of 32 grams lead shot- clearly a heavy load for...

Good I did not bet with you, would have lost some money, haha!
Glad, you found it in that site, I can recommend this for bookmarking for everybody who likes to play with old BP cartridge stuff.
I...

Perhaps I can help you out in this when I can read the stampings. The smoothbores are for 99% originally chambered for 2 1/2" cartridges and I bet, your rifled barrel is a 9,3x72 R but need to see...

Make sure you get a rather soft alloy cast when you buy them, just to make sure they do not raise pressure too much when passing through the choke constriction. When I would have made my decision to...

Would really like to see a picture of what is stamped in the underside of the barrels of this drilling!

Think, those wadcutters with their flying brick ballistic coefficient will do a very good job upon target, especially when you use a somewhat softer alloy for a well-greased bullet.

I had the chokes of 2 guns opened in the past, was no succes because the POI changed dramatically and this job was done by a gunsmith!
That also is one of the reasons, I will always check the chokes...

You also can send a mail to Mountain molds and explain what you have and use their enormous experience in this and follow their suggestion, did that once and never have had any regrets.

I once owned an old BP cape gun made by Imman. Meffert in Suhl; side by side hammer gun, left barrel smooth bore 20 gauge, right barrel rifled, also 20 gauge and a set trigger for the right barrel....

What are the stampings in the barrel Mark? The German gun manufacturers were obliged to offer their products to the Proofing House in the county they did live in from 1873 on- Deutsches...

No Sir! I also always store my ammo nose down in my MTM boxes, the factory boxes with the plastic inserts one can grab at the range in 9mm Luger are also used to store cast and lubricated SWC bullets...

Those Sauvestres are wild, both in performance and in price, I agree!
We do not need many of them, just do have a couple of them in our pockets for the occasion a wild boar is sighted in close range...

Hope, your gunsmith finds out that the forcing cones are nicely long and that the inside barrel diameter is somewhat on the narrow side. I am used to that by shooting my Merkel shotguns, same thing,...

Just mentioning the inside diameters of the choke does not say very much to me; choke is a constriction at the end of the barrel but what is interesting therefore is the inside diameter of the barrel...
