450 # 2 Double rifle
« on: February 28, 2005, 01:19:13 PM »
I thought you might find this interesting.    Since several of my customers have been after me to get into building double rifles I have decided to do so.    This is my current project and is based on a French action with a one piece mono block.     In this picture the rifle is basically ready for proof testing.    Since I know the proof pressures of both the action and the pressure of the 450 # 2 cartridge I expect no problems.    The 450 proof pressures are lower then the original proof loads for the action.    Even so it will be fired from a shooting machine and at a safe distance!!!    If you guys want I will keep you informed as work goes on.    What do you think of the blank I am thinking of using for the stock?   I have not decided for sure yet, it is claro walnut.
