Just a “+1” shout out for Buckstix and his crimping tools. He has made tools for me in 8, 10, and 12 in addition to a 12ga roll crimper for Fosberry type bullets in a 12 bore paper case rifle. All are nicely made and function to perfection.

Buckstix,

If the "paradox" has full length "invisible" rifling but the barrels are marked "Shot and Ball", how does it shoot with shot? If you have tried shot.

If not do you intend to try it?

I'm keen to see how many of these shot and ball guns actually work, as intended, with each.

Thanks,

Mine I regard as a cheap and cheerful double rifle - spent shotshell cases instead of Bertram's wares, and cast scrap lead rather than Woodleighs - and it's a hoot to shoot that way; but shot patterns from mine are rubbish.

Hello All,

here's another update .... I've been busy again ... made tool 70 for a 12 gauge and this is tool number 71 for another 8 gauge

I enjoy helping shooters by making them a tool for their paradox and bore guns ... I am glad to make more if shooters need them. Send me a PM if you want a tool
