More photos: 1) To some degree these two photos are self-explanatory. With the original muzzle spacing, the barrels were shooting apart 4.5". I unsoldered the muzzles and brought them .053" closer together. That resulted in them cross-firing by 9.25". The problem with the first movement of the muzzles on these guns is that you really have no idea of how many inches you're going to move the point of impact by moving the muzzles a certain # of thou. At any rate, I unsoldered the muzzles again and moved them apart .035". Today I went to my gun club and shot the gun again and you see the results. The two barrels are now shooting apart 2.75", so we're getting close. 2) What I'm really ecstatic about is the tight groups that these barrels are shooting. These Canadian-built Model 1910 Ross rifles have always had a reputation for having wonderful barrels. The truth, as they say, is in the pudding. To have two 3-shot groups, in which all three holes are cutting each other at 50 yards, is like the holy grail of double rifles. My wife and I are heading out on Sunday for the palm trees, pina coladas, and coral reefs of The Bays Of Huatulco. I'm just going to have to suffer through it and leave the snow, cold, and my project behind for a week or so. |
