I know it's been a while since I posted a new project, that's because I've mostly been building things that are similar to projects I've already posted so there was no sense in reposting the same stuff. Finally though I have a new project to post.

This is a semi-close reproduction of a 16 Bore Over/Under D. Egg Howdah Pistol.

Thank you all for the compliments.

Waksupi,
The ramrod goes full length to the breech both barrels.

fastdadio,
I regulated it for 50grs FFg and a .665" patched ball, it shoots minute of Tiger at 30 feet.
