larger gonne
« on: January 23, 2008, 07:28:09 AM »
this the larger gonne that my friend let rust up  I mentioned in the peashooter thread  I made it several year ago with the help of a tool maker  that is the new tiller
I did a proof load firing today  240 grains of fffg w/3 steel ball bearing gun survived with no stress signs  [took measurements at several places before and after ] how ever the tiller did not survive the test  it was a handle of unknowns origins and mistery wood It now has a hickory shovel handle as a tiller   I need to dill the touch hole bigger to accept fuse easier  and make a dimple for a flash pan
