44 Caliber Cheroot Cane
« on: September 08, 2011, 08:37:22 AM »
I just finished building this screw top cheroot cane modeled after a 6 pounder.  Rammer storage is in the shaft.  It's a larger version with an 1-1/4" dowel. These will sell for 95 dollars and also be available in 50 caliber.   Dom

Nice!
How does the rammer work?  Do you just tap it out of a deep hole after you unscrew the barrel?

Put a short spring under the rammer for quick access....

A short stiff spring with a pointed stud on top of the ram rod for an emergency "second shot" ;D just kidding....... ??? i'm soooooooooooooo happy!!!!!!!!! seriously, great idea about the spring, it would also keep the rammer from rattling around when stowed. I think I will try it!

Since the barrel is already threaded for the cane maybe you could make a base/carriage it could thread into.

That's a nice piece of work!
It looks sturdier than other designs I've seen, and looks like it could easily withstand actual use (as a walking cane)

I know we don't really get into discussions about legal issues here, but if it would be legal to carry, it would be extremely cool for a firearm enthusiast who actually has a need for a cane in everyday life.

Not in a tapered barrel.  Check out my website home page and it would be the same as the Cheroot cane there.  www.blackpowder-cannons.com
