Re: What 12.5mm cartridge likely for early Ferlach cape gun?
|
Rifle: Cast shows case length of 60mm. Diameter at base is .558” Diameter near neck is .536”. Bore is .490”
Shotgun: Also 60mm long case. Diameter at base .660". Bore is 0.594 or 15mm. I had thought this was a 20 gauge but it seems to be a 24ga as a 28ga shell is too small. Rim cut is 0.722".
Images show shotgun cast first, then rifle:
