Hi guys Here are some thoughts from Olde Englande. Since our pistols were confiscated back in 1996 I have been specialising in Rook rifles and their funny calibres. Much of that is not relevant to this thread, but I now do own and shoot two double hammer rifles, one an original .360 x 2.25" and the other is a converted .410 shotgun - see above. This was made in the 1920s and about ten years ago was converted to a double rifle by a very talented, now deceased, gunsmith for his own use. He sleeved the barrels with two second-hand SMLE .303 barrels, complete with left-hand twist, and then chambered it for .32-20. He regulated it for the mild 1100 fps loading, and it shoots to within an inch out to 100 yards. Interestingly the right barrel is 20 fps slower than the left barrel (wear?) so sometimes I hear a "pop, CRACK" when firing indoors. It shoots lead bullets fine even with a rate of twist that is 'too fast'... Now for dimensions: Firing pins centre to centre is 0.84", table is 1.27" wide and 1.685" long. The original .360 measures: |
