Neat! Is that a kit or are you building from scratch?
Bore? Sometimes simple is just elegant!

It looks a lot like a Numrich boot pistol - nice work, John.

Now I lay me down to sleep
A gun beside me is what I keep
If I awake, and you're inside
The coroner's van is your next ride
I don't know anyone making kits for a boot pistol. I started with a barrel from Jim Carpenter and made the rest in my shop. Many years ago I saw one with the ring hammer so made that from memory. Trigger and hammer are made from an old truck spring. Wood was supplied by a stock maker customer of mine. He said it was scrap that he was planning on burning. Main spring is from McMaster Car. Trigger spring is a coil compression spring and plunger in the trigger. Very simple to operate but not so simple to make.
I read 45, I ask bore, I meant to ask twist.
Now that is neat. What type of sights are you thinking of?
20" in a 45, are there plans for a muzzle loading devise for non spherical projectiles?
they are stable mates!
