I went to Dixen's and watched that. Was alot of fun, but boy those barrels are ugly when they are finished hammering them out. If I didn't see it, I'd have never guessed what one was. After hammering, and drilling they ream it and then off to the rifling machine. Takes about 3000+ passes for each barrel. And those are iron, not steel. Sheesh.
J, if you get one, and are crazy enough to give it a try, I'm stupid enough to help so give me a call! Actually, I'm stupid enough to try anything, so whatever hairbrained ideas you come up with I'm game. P.S. Mind if I hunt for Bobcat on your land? I was thinking of paying the $5 for the lottery pull.

Once rifled those barrels will then get ground and draw filed to shape - swamped octagon for 17th century rifles - a swamped barrel is tapered from the breech to about 9" from the muzzle and then flared again to the muzzle.
To see some of the finest guns available see Eric Kettenburg's site at http://www.firelocks.com/page2.html
For anybody interested in making such guns see http://www.americanlongrifles.com/american-longrifles-BBS-frame.htm

Sure Matt, come on up. I think we have three on the hill but, however many, I can hear them scream some nights, so they're here. Man, talk about a sound that will raise the hair on you neck....bobcats in heat.
