Re: Building a double rifle


The process of regulating goes as follows. I fired four shots, two from each barrel. All shots were marked as to which barrel so as to avoid confusion. Then it is back into the shop and I checked the barrels with the bore sighter and recorded this in my note book. Now out comes the tourch and I heat the wedges to the point where I can move them in order to change the point of impact. Driving the front wedge to the rear will spread the point of impact. If the hose clamp on the front wedge is left tight driving the middle wedge to the rear will have the oppisite effect and bring the shots closser togther. Once the adjustments are made the wedges are re soldered and allowed to cool and it is back to the range and try again. Regulating the rifle was a long process, around 50 shots, however I found it to be very enjoyable and chalanging.
By the way, if any of you want to try building your own double rifle there is a very good book on the subject. It is Building Double Rifles on Shotgun Actions written by Mr.W. Ellis Brown. I do some things different then stated in his book but I am not saying he is wrong just that we do some things different. In any case his book is well worth the money and I got a great deal of vital information from it!! Pluss, it is very enjoyable reading.

If this picture comes out it will be of me working on the regulating of the barrels. You get lots of intrest when you take a torch to a rifle in order to get it to hit where you want. Do this at a public range and like Mr. Brown states, no one wants your help in sighting in their rifles!!!!
