Swivel Gun
« on: March 18, 2007, 04:45:38 AM »
Here are a few photos of a swivel gun I recently completed.  It is  1.75" bore [golf ball]  30" overall length muzzle loader.
Anyone who is interested in one can reach me at: dwc414@hotmail.com     Dom

Thanks Wes,  The drift is for looks only to copy the appearance of the original breech-loaders of that era.  The originals had a mug shaped removable breech that wedged forward into  place with the drift.  I welded this one in place.  Dom
