Its not quite a shotgun, I have a Pedersoli Brown Bess that was an ex film gun (used in the filming of The Bounty if I recall correctly);
It shoots well but the top 6" has had some corrosion that's...
Absolutely ;)
No issues shooting them, felt like decent +P rounds, brass and primers fine. Not an accurate load however.
Oh well
Loaded about a thousand 125gr 9mm rounds over 4.3gr of Win231; No idea how but I zeroed my vernier wrong setting up the die.
Loaded the lot kinda short @ 1.080. Was aiming for 1.135"

Good barrels, popular with military rifle shooters here.
New old stock enfield barrels are pretty much all gone these days, see a few pop up from time to time but they are not cheap.

There was a recent test done locally with some vintage curtis and harvey powder and even though it was probably 100 years old it grouped the best and offered good velocity.

I've got a Pedersoli brown bess, 1980's production.
Used as a film prop and gun, used and abused as hard as they come, rain, hail, snow and everything in between, dry fired too many times...

All the repro magazines are ****; They dont fit or they dont feed.

That's a nice bit of machine work there; How does it shoot?
Forum: Military Rifles
Yeap, what a load of **** that the ammo caused the crack.
Laminate K98 stock, either the recoil lug was set back in the stock or it had loose screws. My money is on the recoil lug.

They have told me they are running two years behind schedule; The dies were put in the production queue in April this year.

Not having any luck with CH4D; I think anything a bit oddball has been put on the backburner or they are flat out just not doing it.

And in other new, water is wet!
Do you really have to tell people not to load and shoot over pressure ammunition?
People shoot those here, they are like any 100yr old rifle.

Dropped by a shop today that has odds and ends
Got a turkish masuer trigger and sear (which, is longer without the cut), safety flag and another front band for $20 which was good.

At the moment, its a wall hanger or a curiosity. Its not a...

You are correct;
But the odds of 120yr old glued bits of timber coming apart are slimmer than the barrel I want and I'll still need a set of bands which are literally worth more than gold in good...
