its 8 years I got a chassepot carbine barreled action and a walnut blank here is an old pic ![]() have a 68 cm long barrel with a .454 diameter ![]() here a chamber cast with an original cartridge, the bolt is in the position he have when closed this thing sleeping in my basement for years now only visited from time to time. maybe its the year I can bring it to an end now. Chassepot carbine, make in the manufacture imperiale de Châtellerault between 1866 and 1870 ![]() the chassepot is the link beween the Dreyse bolt action and the Mauser 71. you have to cock the bolt with the hand before you can open it. ![]() the needle ![]() my intention allways was to make a stutzen, something between the dreyse jäger rifle ![]() and the civil dreyse hunting rifles for needle fire paper cartridges ![]() or center fire metallic cartridges ![]() thats what it looks now ![]() I found a horn trigger guard, probably for a double gun with two trigger so I have space in the trigger guard for a safety. the stock will get a old style horn tip too. ![]() got a very nice old german patch box on monday ![]() such things were not uncommon on dreyse sporting rifles and so think if it will be a good idea to use this for my stutzen project. because all steel parts get a fire blueing or the antic brauning the patch box will need a colour case hardening then. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() the front sight came from a Haenel airgun ![]() to let the cat out of the bag this is my first own wildcat cartridge the 11,5x50 RB PWM/Chassepot needle fire. something the world was waiting for ![]() ![]() will give mor informations when the rifle is ready once |
