Another Dom French 75...
« on: January 17, 2009, 01:01:25 AM »
 Yeah, I know. Ho-hum, aint that neat...

 However, this particular example has a little 'twist' to it that can't be seen in the pics - An accurate 1/4 scale feature  ;)

"twist"

 It's 12 ga. The bore diameter is almost exactly 1/4 of 75mm  :)

Aha! This must be the barrel blank you mentioned earlier...

Years ago I bought a 1.25" OD x 24" 12 ga rifled blank from Hastings. I recently shipped it off to be put into a cannon for me. Hopefully it will be done soon.

And people think I'm forgetful!







Uh, what were we talking about?!?

 Yup. That be it.

 I've gathered tools and material to make up a mould for a ~1300 grain skirted conical for it. Keeping my fingers crossed that it'll be accurate  :)

 Coming soon, I hope.

 Still gotta make the mould and dig through the box-o-sights to find a suitable rear and make a post for the front.
