looks great. must get its sister out of cabinet and shoot something myself...(sister as barrel came from same place and it sits in a rusky too.)mine is a LOT cruder than yours all the same.

Im pretty sure if you made up some more wee apertures that fit onto dovetails...both sizes and could keep the cost down,they would be rather popular and sell like hot cakes...

well I cannot "like that"......... hopefully it will come through soon for you.
at least you got your deer with the right tools at hand.

I had good intentions and THOUGHT my bush shots would be 25-50 yards...but the other day I got 3 oppertunities and none were less than 75yards...2 clean misses at 100ish yards 2-3 hours apart....yeah...

ok...range report is still missing...time for an update LOL
if I havent said it before...that is a plurry neat job you have done.......

still waiting........

waiting for range report..............

so are you making another 12" one with other half of barrel???? LOL

fark you cut her off short!!!!!!!! I see top of your barrel is higher,with rib,so discount my comment re ramp...on SHOTGUN it sticks up proud of barrel so can be notched as rear sight.

eagerly awaiting progress photos..........:thumbsup:

shoot lots of cast and it will do itself .......said the maker of them barrels LOL.

the ramp on top of action of the bakails makes a fair rear sight...just put small notch in it....my 12ga has deep V filed into it....works a treat.

45/70 you wont be needing 5-6 cartridges LOL.
get in habit of carrying round loose in left hand when game is being approached...reloading is quite quick that way,quick being relative.you could go...

holy smoke that is great work........ really makes a bloke think.......look forward to seeing how it shoots.... might have to pull finger and sort some decent sights for mine LOL.

30/06 or 45/70 ???? always dreamt of one of them for a bush rifle......

Rifle - ADI World Class Powders and Ammunition

these are good load info...its the bottom tier...the lower pressure loads for trapdoor type rifles...I FIGURE shotgun action must be here...

holy smoke,that makes it piece of piss then..... good work.

yes but no...you still use ammunition like normal...but for ejection rather than weaken area around rim I left it pretty much intact...drop wee rod (guts of double ended automotive screwdriver) down...

or you turn outside of 45/70 barrel down to slip straight into .12ga and pop empty shells out with small rod dropped down barrel,Ive also seen it done with insert glued into place and the ejector...

did you recieve my PM???

by same token you can use the std 45/70..... the hornady cases are tiny bit shorter,plenty of slower load data out there.... black powder goes slow too LOL.
ADI load data site has a single action...

interesting.....there is much easier way to do this... will flick you a PM.
