I started a new build this week. I won't be doing a fully detailed build documentation of this one because it will basically be just like the other Jones Underlevers I've built. I will post updates though as the build progresses.

Retired...TWICE. Now just raisin' cows and livin' on borrowed time.
I know it has been many months since I have update this build or my blog at all for that matter. I’ve had a few set backs with this project and ended up missing the delivery deadline. First real set-back was when my milling machine broke the main drive gear in the geared head unit. In any case the video below is the current state of the 8 Bore, basically all of the metal work is complete and it is ready to be inlet into wood. Since I missed the delivery deadline on this project and this was being built on a trade deal I had worked out, I simply returned the Trade rifle to the customer with compensation for delivery of his rifle to me and for the small amout of shooting I did with it while it was in my possession. Unfortunately that leaves this 8 Bore as a speculation build in my shop, so I’m going to set it on a back burner and work on it as time permits. I’ll be moving on to the next paying project shortly.

I am guessing even if the chamber was modified to chamber 8 gauge industrial shells (3 oz zink slug/disks), they may be too much for the action? Nice work and it appears the 8 gauge would be more practical than some of your other projects.
Are you implying that a 2 Bore is impractical.
Why would you want it chambered for the 8 gauge industrial shell? This is a fully rifled barrel in slow twist for cast lead round ball and black powder loads...it's an ideal elephant rifle, classic styling in a classic caliber.

Allow me to vigorously slam both fists down on this thread with two thumbs way up!
Precision in the wrong place is only a placebo.

The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!

Anxiously awaiting the rest. Couldn't afford it, but love the idea.
